You need to review your Purchase and Sale Agreement to see how and if that issue is addressed. You should ask the attorney who is representing you in your purchase what your options are.

Can seller back out of a home purchase agreement if closing date is not met?

yes the seller can technically back out if any conditions in the contract are not met... however, to cover yourself you should probably send a letter in advance stating the closing date is coming up and what your intentions are. just a good idea... because then there is no argument.


Can bank close your deposit account?

Sure you can. It's your money and your account and you can close it anytime you wish. However, if you are closing your deposit account before its intended maturity date the bank can charge you a small penalty on the interest component for doing so. But the original money you deposited will not be touched and will be refunded in full when you close the account.

What is an escrow state?

There are two main types of real estate closings for purchases of residential properties. One is the traditional closing and the other is an escrow closing. In traditional closing states, like Georgia for example, the buyer and seller and any other interested parties come to the closing table at the appointed time for the transaction, sign all necessary documents and the transaction is completed. The property title changes hands and the money (lender's or buyer's) changes hands as well. In traditional closing states on a purchase there is one closing and funds disbursement which finalizes the transaction which is generally referred to only as "the closing". In an escrow state, like California for example, all of the stipulations for the transfer of the property and funds are cleared prior to the day of closing. Important documents and funds are held "in escrow" by the assigned escrow agent until the time of the closing. If all stipulations have been met according to the escrow instructions (created between seller, buyer and lender) the closing is final, all funds are disbursed and the sale is final. The closing is generally referred to as an "closing of escrow". Not to be confused with with other types of escrow the escrow closing includes all documents and monies required to facilitate the loan. Escrow may also mean earnest money given to the buyer's agent during the contract period which is applied to the closing costs or purchase price. Escrow may also mean funds held by the escrow agent after the closing to be applied to an upgrade or repair on the property being purchased. Finally, and very importantly in any state, there is lender's escrow. This is a specified amount of funds held by the lender to cover the cost of taxes and insurance on the property being financed. Many times the property owner can ask to have escrows waived which some lenders facilitate for a slightly increased interest rate to help mitigate the risk. In this case the lender will require proof of insurance and taxes being up to date on the property. See a list of escrow states at the related link provided below.

What happens in a real estate contigency if the buyer has not agreed in writing to a new closing date?

It is usually the buyer who holds the contingency (not to buy for some reason), so it would be up to the buyer and seller to agree on a closing date when all of the contingencies expire. Or they can agree to split the deposit and go their separate ways. The seller often keeps the entire deposit unless there is a cloud on title or other reason the property was not in condition to be sold.
