This is a contingency. They are common aspects of homebuying and selling.\u00a0 Buyers may agree to meet the contingency, they may counter-offer, or they may refuse the contingency altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Contingencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several contingencies that may occur during the homebuying negotiation. Some of the most common ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inspection contingency:<\/strong> The buyer will purchase the home if the inspection is acceptable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home selling contingency:<\/strong> The deal hinges on the buyer&#8217;s ability to sell their current home. (Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/migonline.com\/home-affordability\">mortgage calculator<\/a> to see how much home you can afford). This will be included in the preapproval letter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appraisal contingency:<\/strong> The home must appraise at a certain amount for the buyer to get the mortgage loan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financing contingency:<\/strong> The deal rests on the buyer being able to secure financing to cover\u00a0the home price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pros and Cons of Contingencies for the Buyer and Seller<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the buyer, the advantage of a contingency is that it\u00a0protects them.\u00a0Getting items repaired that show up during the home inspection or giving them breathing room to sell their home before they are on the hook for a mortgage payment on the new home can work out well.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have additional questions about specific contingencies, or just want to talk about the homebuying process in general?\u00a0 Our team will be happy to consult with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Negotiating for the home you want to buy can be stressful.
