If an offer has already been submitted & accepted for the lot you want, you may consider entering into a back up contract or you are welcome to consider other lots that may be available. In addition, you can participate in future lot releases.

A back up contract is a binding purchase and sale agreement where the buyer agrees that they are not obligated to close on the lot until they are notified that the primary contract has been terminated. Back up offers may be accepted at any time. Any back up contract holder will be required to place a 10% deposit in escrow, which will be returned to the back up contract holder should the primary contract move forward with closing. Once the lot sale closes with the primary contract buyer, the back up contract is terminated and the deposit is returned. However, if, for any reason, the primary contract should not close or be terminated by either party, the back up contract holder will be notified that they are no longer the back up contract holder, and they will become the primary contract holder and will be expected to close on the purchase of the lot in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement.

The purchase and sale agreement calls for an earnest money deposit of 10% of the total lot purchase price. The total lot purchase price includes the sales price of the lot and the water and sewer impact fees and the irrigation system connection fee. You will be notified of the exact amount of deposit due at the time of signing the purchase and sale agreement. The earnest money deposit should be made by wire transfer at the time of signing the purchase and sale agreement.  Wiring instructions will be included with the contract package.

Wiring instructions will be included with the contract documents. You will need to call the escrow agent as indicated on the wiring instructions to confirm the account. It is important that you also include a reference for the lot number with your wire so that the escrow agent can apply the deposit to your purchase agreement.
