When time comes to make an offer the house of your dreams, your real estate agent can give you information about the current housing market.
The real estate agent could also help you prepare your offer and communicate it to the seller. Sometimes, the house seller receives more than one offer at the same time. Ask questions to your real estate agent and home mortgage loan expert to be sure to make the good choice.
Here follow different kinds of offers to buy a house:
Conditional purchase offer: This type of offer means that you ask for one or more conditions to be fill in order to purchase the house. For example, a purchase offer could be conditional to a thorough inspection of the house, conditional on obtaining financing from mortgage loan or conditional to the sale of the property of the buyer.
Purchase offer: A legal document that specifies how you offer to buy the house. This offer may be “strong” or “conditional”.
Strong purchase offer: This type of offer is usually the one the seller prefers because it means you are ready to buy the house without condition. If the seller accepts your offer and if you have a pre-approved home mortgage, the house is yours.
Acceptance of your offer: You should make your offer as soon as possible when you find an interesting house. The seller may accept the offer, reject it or make another offer. The other offer the seller can make could affect the price of the house, the closing date or any other factor. Offers may thus be presented successively by both sides until there is agreement or until one party terminates the negotiations.
