Contingent Offer

A contingent offer means the buyer needs to sell their existing home before they can close on yours. Whether to accept depends on the offer price, how close the buyer’s home is to selling, and how much other interest your property may receive. In a transitioning Raleigh market where buyer activity has slowed from 2021-2022 highs, a contingent offer with the right protections may be worth considering — particularly if you’re priced above $500,000, where qualified contingency-free buyers are less plentiful.
