A purchase and sale agreement is a contract that defines the obligations of both buyer and seller. It sets the purchase price, deposit terms, contingencies, disclosures, and closing timeline. The document may be amended as the deal progresses to address changes in financing, inspections, or negotiations.
Yes. Having a lawyer to review the contract helps explain terms, identify risks, and ensure your rights are protected under California law. A timely review can prevent misunderstandings and costly disputes.
Common contingencies include loan approval, satisfactory inspections, and clear title. Contingencies specify conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed or for deposits to be refunded.
Closing timelines vary by transaction but typically range from 30 to 60 days in California. Delays can occur due to financing, title issues, or due diligence findings.
If disclosures are incomplete or inaccurate, remedies may include amendments, renegotiation, or, in some cases, termination of the contract.
Many contracts allow termination under specified contingencies or by mutual agreement. Without a contingency, breaching parties may face penalties or loss of deposits.
Typically the buyer pays for lender’s title insurance; the seller may pay for the owner’s title insurance, depending on the agreement and local custom.
California disclosures commonly include known defects, property condition, natural hazard zones, and, for older homes, lead-based paint disclosures where applicable.
Earnest money is held in escrow and credited toward the purchase price at closing. If the deal falls through due to buyer fault, the funds may be forfeited; if due to seller breach, the funds are typically returned.
