A breach occurs when one party fails to fulfill a material obligation in the purchase contract, such as missing a closing date or failing to honor a contingency. The breach may entitle the non-breaching party to remedies such as damages or specific performance depending on the contract terms and applicable law. California law generally requires proof of a breach, damages, and a causal link between the breach and the loss.
California generally imposes statutes of limitations on contract claims, which can vary by case. In many breach situations, actions must be filed within a few years of the breach or discovery of the breach. An attorney can assess your specific timeline based on contract type and facts.
Remedies may include monetary damages to cover losses, specific performance to compel completion of the sale, rescission to unwind the contract, or negotiated settlements. The availability of each remedy depends on the contract language and the nature of the breach.
Earnest money may be refundable or forfeitable depending on who breached and the contract terms. If the breach is caused by the seller, you may recover the deposit; if the breach is by the buyer, the seller may retain it, subject to contract and statutory limits.
