In real estate, contingencies are critical elements in purchase offers that protect buyers against unforeseen circumstances. Common home condition contingencies include inspections for pests, lead-based paint, roof damage, and mold. Financing contingencies may involve appraisal and loan acquisition conditions. These contingencies highlight the uncertainties involved in real estate transactions and ensure that buyers have avenues for negotiation and protection. Understanding these key factors helps buyers make informed decisions and secure the best deal.
