A purchase and sale agreement is a contract that outlines the terms of a real estate transfer, including price, assets included, and timing of the closing. It binds both buyer and seller to the agreed terms and sets forth remedies if the deal changes.
Even with cash, a PSA clarifies responsibilities and timelines, helps allocate risk, and ensures disclosures and title matters are addressed before closing.
Negotiation time varies by deal complexity; a straightforward agreement may finalize within a couple of weeks, while more complex transactions can take longer depending on contingencies and negotiations.
California requires disclosures such as lead paint, natural hazard, and other property condition statements. A PSA should reference these disclosures and allocate duties for providing and updating them.
Cancellation depends on contract terms and contingencies. If a contingency is not met or a cooling-off period is applicable, either party may withdraw under defined conditions.
Earnest money is typically held in escrow and credited toward the purchase price at closing, with guidelines on refunds if the deal doesn’t close.
If a deal falls through, parties may respecify terms, pursue remedies outlined in the PSA, or re-enter negotiations for a new transaction.
