FAQ
You can still make an offer on a house labeled contingent or pending. However, when a property has one of these statuses, it means that an offer has been accepted, so the sale is in progress. The deal hasn't been finalized, so it still gives you an opportunity.
If you're interested in a property that's listed with an active contingent status, you may still be able to make an offer. While the initial offer will take precedence if all the contingencies are satisfied, making an offer can put you at the head of the line if the original deal falls through.
The contingent period usually lasts anywhere from 30 to 60 days. If you have a mortgage contingency, the buyer's due date is usually about a week before closing. Overall, a home stays in contingent status for the specified period or until the contingencies are met and the buyer closes on their new house.
Usually, contingent offers are viewed as less attractive by home sellers. To combat that, work with your agent to offer competitive terms. For example, offer a quick closing period or a shortened inspection. Many sellers will be willing to accept a contingent offer if you give them what they want.
Negotiation Opportunities: Making an offer on a contingent house can provide negotiation opportunities. Sellers might consider a higher or more attractive offer if the current deal seems uncertain.

Purchasing a house with the contingency of selling your current home is fairly common. This method helps to protect you from paying two mortgages at once.Contingent offers usually can't compete in a multiple offer situation but if the property isn't selling quickly it can be good for both buyer and seller. Q: What happens if a buyer can't meet a contingency? Purchase agreements can be made contingent on the buyer being approved for a loan within a specified period of time, usually 30 days or less. A contingency offer means that the buyer is making an offer on a house with certain conditions that have to be met. A sales contingency is when you will need to sell your current home in order to close on the house you're offering to buy. Contingencies are certain conditions in the purchase agreement that need to be met to have a fully binding purchase agreement. A contingent offer means that the buyer's ability to purchase your home depends on selling their current home. In Minnesota, there is no standard deadline to respond to an offer and it's pretty uncommon for a buyer to stipulate one.
