A purchase and sale agreement is a binding contract between buyer and seller that outlines the terms of a real estate transaction, including price, property description, contingencies, disclosures, and the conditions required to complete the sale.
Key elements include purchase price, property description, escrow arrangements, financing contingencies, inspection findings, title status, closing date, and remedies for breach. The process typically involves negotiation, due diligence, disclosures, and final signing before escrow funding and transfer of ownership.
Glossary terms help you understand common phrases used in real estate contracts.
The amount offered to buy the property, as stated in the agreement, subject to financing terms and contingencies.
Conditions that must be satisfied before closing, such as financing, appraisal, inspection, and title review.
A deposit showing the buyer’s good faith; it is held in escrow and applied toward the purchase price or returned if contingencies are not met.
