purchase contracts

Formal acquisition documents

Purchase contracts are legally binding agreements to buy something, typically real estate or goods, under specified terms.

They establish price, conditions, timelines, and contingencies that must be met before the sale closes.

In real estate, a purchase contract locks in the deal while inspections, financing, and title searches proceed: We signed the purchase contract but closing is in thirty days.
