Sale finalization paperwork

A purchase contract is a legally binding agreement between buyer and seller that sets the terms of a transaction—price, conditions, timelines, and what happens if either party fails to perform.

The term appears most often in real estate: We signed the purchase contract on the house last Tuesday.

Also called a purchase agreement or sales contract.
