Should I continue to show my home after I have accepted a conditional offer?
You can continue showing your home after accepting a conditional offer—many sellers do this in case the deal falls through or to secure a backup offer.
Can I Keep Showing My Home After Accepting a Conditional Offer?
We get this question a lot — and the short answer is yes.
In fact, almost 40% of all conditional real estate transactions fell through in 2021.
This means that conditions were not satisfied, and the deal did not go through. For that reason, many sellers choose to continue showing their home even after accepting a conditional offer.
Here’s What You Can Do:
- You are welcome to keep your listing active, continue showings, and accept backup offers
- If your original conditional offer falls through, the first backup offer takes precedence
- It is also common practice — and an industry expectation — that sellers continue to facilitate showings with reasonable notice, even when under a conditional contract
Ultimately, it’s your choice whether to:
- Remove your listing from the market after accepting a conditional offer, or
- Keep your home available for showings and negotiate backup offers to stay protected
