Purchase Agreement
California
Can a seller back out of a purchase agreement after accepting an offer?
I recently entered into a purchase agreement to buy a house, and the seller accepted my offer. However, just a few days later, the seller informed me that they have changed their mind and no longer want to sell the property. I have already made arrangements for financing and I am concerned about my rights as a buyer. Can the seller legally back out of the purchase agreement after accepting my offer?
Dolan W.
I'm so sorry about this situation! So legally speaking, the answer is no. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) You may also seek specific performance of the agreement, too. You have some options you can explore: You can send them a demand for performance or some financial compensation. I have a template letter you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Otherwise, you can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. Best of luck!

Earnest money in a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of buying a house and have been presented with a purchase and sale agreement. I am confused about the earnest money portion of the agreement and would like to understand what it means and how it will affect the transaction. I am particularly interested in knowing what happens to the earnest money if either party decides to back out of the agreement.
Merry K.
Good morning. I am a WA State attorney, and I have reviewed numerous purchase and sale agreements (PSA), and have bought and sold numerous pieces of property in WA and CO. You are wise to ask this question. Since you are the buyer, normally your buyer's real estate agent would prepare the PSA for you to use, after discussing with you. Since you said a PSA "was presented to you" I"m wondering whether you are buying a new home from a building contractor. In any event, the purpose to an earnest money payment is to hold the home for you and let the seller know you are interested. In most cases, however, the seller can keep your whole earnest money payment if you back out of a purchase for reasons that are not protected in the PSA. For example, if you write your offer contingent on your subjective approval of an inspection report, or write your offer contingent on obtaining financing at terms you approve of, either one of these terms can get you out of the contract and also have your earnest money returned to you. There should be language in the PSA that clearly states what happens to the earnest money and how much earnest money you are providing. I hope that that is helpful. If you continue to have questions, I urge you to have an attorney review any and all documents, including those for loans, prior to signing anything.

Real Estate Option Agreement
Washington
Can an option agreement for real estate be terminated if the option holder fails to exercise their right within the specified timeframe?
I have entered into a real estate option agreement with a potential buyer, where they have the right to purchase the property within a specified timeframe. However, the option holder has failed to exercise their right within the agreed-upon timeframe. I would like to know if I have the legal grounds to terminate the option agreement and explore other potential buyers for the property.
Merry K.
Based on what you’ve described, once the option period has expired without the buyer exercising their right to purchase, the option agreement is generally no longer enforceable and you are free to market the property to other buyers. To protect yourself, review the exact language of the option agreement to confirm whether it provides for automatic termination upon expiration, and consider sending the buyer a written notice—ideally by both regular and certified mail—confirming that the option has lapsed and that you are releasing the property for sale to others. Please be advised that I provided this information for educational purposes, and no attorney client relationship has been formed.

Financing Agreement
New York
Can refinancing my mortgage help me save money in the long run?
I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage and would like to know if this option can help me save money in the long run. I purchased my home three years ago and have been making regular mortgage payments since then. However, I recently learned that interest rates have significantly dropped since I obtained my mortgage, and I am wondering if refinancing would allow me to secure a lower interest rate and reduce my monthly mortgage payments. I am also curious to know if there are any potential drawbacks or costs associated with refinancing that I should be aware of before making a decision.
Arthur S.
Depending on the rate differential between your current mortgage loan and the refinancing proposal, the saving in the long term can be substantilal. In the short term, the savings in debt service payments will be off-set by the cost of the refinancing, e.g. commitment and loan fees, appraisal and other underwriting costs imposed by a new lender), mortgage title fees and atty fees (taking into account you, the borrower, customarily pays the new lender's atty costs). That said, many residential lenders limit the costs to residential borrowers of the financing costs of any such refinancing),

Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.
Myrna L.
Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.
