it depends what state you live in You will have to be moved out of the house the day before closing, so that when the people sign the mortgage and the loan is funded, they can move their stuff in.

You can stipulate any delays in the sales contract, such as waiting until school is out, but you may lose the sale if the buyers are unable to agree to that.

If you had expensive light fixtures mounted when the house was sold can you replace them with cheaper ones before you move?

Not unless it was clearly stated in the sales contract that the fixtures were to be removed. If it wasn't so stated, then everything the buyers saw they should receive. If you now wish to keep them, you could contact the buyers agent and request that you be allowed to take them with you. The buyers may allow it or, in exchange for them, ask for the price to be adjusted.

I would hope this was covered in the contract you signed. There is usually a protection period but it extends only to buyers that looked while listed with the brokerage. If your buyer has never seen the house and your contract has legally ended, you are free to sell right away.


Can you get out of a real estate contract after signing?

The contract establishes the rules for the purchase but does not finalize it. Contracts generally include certain conditions that must be satisfied before the sale actually takes place and if they are not met the contract is cancelled or penalties may be instituted. For example, a contract may be voided if the buyer is unable to obtain a mortgage or if the seller fails to make specified house repairs. Other than the above, getting out of a contract requires discussion with the other party and with an attorney and may involve financial penalties.
