<h2>What Are Buyer Contingencies?</h2>

<p>Contingencies are conditions in your purchase contract that must be met for the sale to move forward. They protect you by giving you a way out, and your deposit back, if something doesn't check out.</p>

<h2>Inspection Contingency</h2>

<p>This gives you time to inspect the home and cancel or renegotiate if you find problems you're not comfortable with.</p>

<h2>Appraisal Contingency</h2>

<p>This protects you if the home appraises below your purchase price, letting you renegotiate or cancel.</p>

<h2>Loan Contingency</h2>

<p>This protects you if your financing falls through, so you're not obligated to buy without a loan.</p>

<h2>Balancing Protection and Competitiveness</h2>

<p>Strong contingencies protect you, but in competitive markets buyers sometimes adjust them to make offers more appealing. This is a strategic decision to make with your agent.</p>
