A purchase and sale agreement is a contract between buyer and seller that outlines price, terms, contingencies, and the closing date. It sets the framework for due diligence, inspections, and final transfer of ownership.
In California, a real estate contract should include the property description, purchase price, payment terms, deadlines, contingencies, disclosures, and remedies. It may also specify escrow instructions and closing date.
Closing times vary, typically 30 to 60 days after signing, depending on financing and title clearance. Delays can occur if contingencies are not met.
Usually, the seller provides a preliminary agreement or standard form; a lawyer can review or amend the contract to fit your goals.
If a breach occurs, remedies may include termination, damages, or specific performance, depending on the contract terms and applicable law.
California requires certain disclosures; failing to disclose can lead to remedies for the buyer and potential liabilities for the seller.
In many cases, you can negotiate terms before signing; once signed, terminating may be difficult unless contingencies allow.
Title and escrow handle the transfer of ownership and funds; ensure title is clear and escrow instructions align with the contract.
While not mandatory, having a lawyer review the contract helps identify issues and tailor terms to your situation.
