A home inspection contingency means that the buyer's offer only stands dependent on the results of a home inspection.

Inspection Contingency The “inspection” contingency allows buyers to do many investigations. It covers the buyers' physical inspection and the title report or homeowner's association documents. Generally, buyers have 17 days to remove the inspection contingency. However, the time period can be changed in the agreement.

The contingency period typically lasts 30 days, but it varies by state. If you're buying a house, your agent will help you navigate all of this—especially if there are any contingencies on your end that need to be met before moving forward with a transaction.
