Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to perform as agreed in a real estate contract when damages alone are insufficient to make you whole.
In practice, it is most commonly used to compel transfer of title, close on a purchase, or enforce exclusive terms in a sale.
Specific performance is an equitable remedy that compels compliance with contract terms where performance is feasible and monetary damages do not adequately compensate the injured party.
Key elements include a valid contract, breach by the other party, and the absence of an adequate remedy at law. Courts consider feasibility of performance, potential irreparable harm, and whether a specific order is appropriate.
