Colorado purchase contracts include a series of deadlines, such as inspection, title, loan, and appraisal. Missing one can affect your rights, so keep a calendar and talk with your agent often.
| Key point | What it means |
|---|---|
| Earnest money deadline | When your deposit is due. |
| Inspection objection deadline | The last day to give written notice of problems you want fixed or to cancel. |
| Inspection resolution deadline | The date by which buyer and seller try to agree on what happens next. |
| Title and survey deadlines | When you review title commitment and any survey or HOA documents. |
| Loan and appraisal deadlines | When you must confirm financing and valuation. |
| Closing and possession dates | When ownership and the keys transfer. |
Each deadline gives you a chance to ask for changes or cancel under certain conditions. After they pass, your options may be limited and your deposit may be at risk.
Put every date on your calendar with reminders a few days early. Order inspections right away, and ask your lender for updates. Written communication is key.
Contract forms and terms can change, and each deal is different. Your agent can walk through every date with you, and an attorney can answer legal questions.
This article is general information, not legal, tax, financial or inspection advice. Every home and situation is different, so confirm details with a licensed inspector, lender, attorney or tax professional.
