Is a contract for property sale binding before closing?

Yes, a contract for property sale is generally binding before closing, provided it meets the legal requirements of a contract, such as mutual consent, consideration, and a lawful object. Once both parties have signed the agreement, they are typically obligated to adhere to its terms until closing. However, certain contingencies, such as financing or inspections, may allow for the contract to be voided under specific conditions. It's advisable to consult a legal professional for guidance on any specific contract.
