Real estate was affected significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for houses dropped, and fewer sellers were willing to risk it all for less money. Similarly, the movement restrictions and business closure made it difficult for mortgage providers to ascertain buyers’ creditworthiness. 

In real estate, contingent refers to a situation where the purchase of a property is dependent on certain conditions. If these conditions are not met, the agreement can be nullified.
