What are contingencies in a home offer?
Contingencies are conditions that let you cancel or renegotiate without losing your earnest money, such as inspection, appraisal, financing and the sale of your current home. Each has a deadline. ListingCraft for Buyers lets you choose contingencies and their windows day by day, then tracks those deadlines.
Fewer contingencies can make an offer more attractive, but each one you drop increases your risk. Decide what you can afford to give up.
