Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to complete a real estate transaction as originally agreed, rather than relying on monetary damages.
This action is most appropriate when a property is unique or when damages cannot adequately remedy the breach.
In California, specific performance may be granted for a valid real estate contract when the terms are definite, the seller is in breach, and the property is unique or readily identifiable.
Key elements include a binding contract for sale, breach by the other party, and a court’s ability to order performance; typical steps involve pleadings, temporary relief, and hearings.
