If an offer is listed as pending, that means all conditions have been met and the sale is just awaiting an official closing. If a backup offer is accepted, it ensures a contract with the seller if the first offer falls through.
In the real estate world, pending means a property offer has been accepted and the contingencies met, but the sale hasn't been finalized yet. Whether you're buying or selling a house, it's worth learning what pending really means, how long a home could be pending and how a pending sale could fall through. Key takeaways.
A deal contingent forward is a specialised forward foreign exchange (FX) contract. The hedging customer is only obliged to fulfil the contract if a planned major transaction, such as an acquisition, occurs.
It indicates that a result has not been received for the backup but it is within its user-defined "No Result Threshold". A backup will transition from "Pending" to "No Result" once it has exceeded the number of days defined in the "No Result Threshold".
The “Pending: Taking Backups” status indicates that although the real estate listing is pending, the seller is still showing the house and accepting backup offers. These types of offers come into play if the first offer falls through for whatever reason.
If the home comes back on the market, a lot of buyers are put off by that. Having a backup offer means that if you back out for any reason or are unable to close for any reason, the backup offer immediately becomes the accepted offer and the home never goes back on the market.
A forward contract against an export is a contract between an importer and exporter in which a specific amount of their currencies are exchanged for one another. The forward contract provides a hedge against the risk of fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
