A-1 Purchase Contract (Pages 1 & 2 only) 4/22

Paragraph 4:
Addition (new 4d):
“Seller will take back a purchase money note and mortgage as described in the attached rider.”
This line was removed several years ago and added back as changes have also been made to the Purchase Money Note and Mortgage Rider.

Paragraph 6 (Deposit and Escrow of Deposits):
Addition:
Added a check box with an “other” option for situations where someone other than the listing Broker is holding the deposit.

Paragraph 8 (Possession at Closing; Condition of Property; Risk of Loss):
Addition:
“In case of any loss or damage, when Seller has not restored the Property substantially to its former condition prior to closing, one of the following shall occur at Buyer’s option: either (a) the Seller shall pay over or assign to the Buyer all sums recovered on account of said insurance upon Buyer’s payment of the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller, or (b) the Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the deposits shall be refunded to the Buyer.”
The reasoning behind the addition is to make it clearer the seller bears the risk of loss and gives the buyer the option to either continue with the transaction and seller pays over or assigns the insurance payment to the buyer for buyer to complete the repairs, or the buyer can terminate the contract and get their deposit back.
