A breach of a real estate purchase contract happens when a party does not perform as promised under the agreement. In California, remedies may include damages, rescission, or specific performance, depending on the facts.
Critical elements include a valid contract, a material breach, and proof of resulting damages. The process typically includes case assessment, demand letters, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation.
Glossary terms cover breach, damages, specific performance, rescission, contingencies, and disclosures.
