What does under contract mean?
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the field, and had a quick question. I hear people say that they have something "under contract." What does that mean? Does that mean that they've made a commitment to buy the property for a certain price and the seller has agreed to it as well? What exactly is in the "contract?"
Thanks in advance!

The contract is a Purchase Contract, or any other agreement that both parties have entered into, such as a Lease with an Option to Purchase, etc. Welcome to BP! Have you seen this yet? Beginner's Guide
