When you make an offer to purchase on a home, you and your real estate agent will decide if you will include any contingencies in the offer such as financing and/or home inspection. A contingency is a condition that must be met in order for the sale to be legally binding.
When you make an offer with a financing contingency, the offer is then contingent, or dependant, on you obtaining that financing. If you need a mortgage to buy the home and cannot obtain the financing to do so, the contingency is not met and the deal can’t close. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage can give you more confidence in your ability to obtain the mortgage you need. Read more on pre-approval here.
