  September 05, 2008 at 01:40 butterflylitgirl says that completely depends on how much someone wants the house. We knew there were several offers going in on a house we wanted so we made

  September 05, 2008 at 02:07 Karma Meg says depending on the market; they used to be so common but in a hot market, conditions usually off

  September 05, 2008 at 02:10 Karma Meg says big condition for me is always home inspection
• 
  September 05, 2008 at 02:10 KDFrawg says Oh, inspection is common in every sale. Conditional offers usually require you to wait for your sale until the offerer sells their home.

  September 05, 2008 at 02:13 KDFrawg says I had nver considered inspection a condition, but rather a requirement.

  September 05, 2008 at 02:15 Karma Meg says KDFrawg, in recent bidding wars, some were crazy enough NOT to include inspection (at least in GTA/Ontario)

  September 05, 2008 at 02:26 callkathy we had them on both houses we bought and on both sales for those houses as well. All 4 times they were "financing" conditions
• 
  September 05, 2008 at 02:26 bloggeries says conditions kind of stink but same time if it's being bought by someone who already owns a home chances are they need to free the equity

  September 05, 2008 at 02:28 bloggeries says first; as a seller it's a bit of a drag.
• 
  September 05, 2008 at 02:31 KDFrawg says yeah, they usually are callkathy.

  September 05, 2008 at 03:08 ItyBites says homes sold as is in GA are on the rise too, which is scary but conditions are pretty in an offer

  September 05, 2008 at 03:35 cowlady has written many offers with contingencies; however has advised clients of the possibility of losing out on the house because of it.
