Real Estate Lingo Explained 🏡📚
Ever see a home online marked Under Contract, Contingent, or In Escrow and wonder what it actually means? Here’s a quick breakdown:
🔹 Under Contract – The buyer and seller have agreed on terms and signed a contract, but the sale hasn’t closed yet.�🔹 Contingent – The deal depends on certain conditions being met, like inspections 🔍, financing 💰, or an appraisal 📊.�🔹 Escrow – A neutral third party safely holds funds and important documents while everything is finalized before closing.
Real estate has its own language, and understanding it can make the buying or selling process a lot less confusing.
