The Texas contingency form for buying before your sale closes
Buying While Selling a Lofts on Post Oak Home: The Texas Sale of Other Property Addendum
Updated November 2026
How does the Texas Addendum for Sale of Other Property by Buyer work when I sell my Lofts on Post Oak home and buy the next one?
As of October 2026, the Texas Real Estate Commission's addendum is used when you cannot buy the next property unless your Lofts on Post Oak home is sold and closed.

How does the Texas addendum link your next purchase to your Lofts on Post Oak sale?
The Texas Real Estate Commission publishes an addendum that ties your offer to the closing of your current home. Its form page states the purpose in one line.
The Commission's wording is sold and closed. The addendum is written for a purchase that depends on your existing home reaching the closing table.
The Commission's list of promulgated forms says real estate license holders are required to use these forms. The agent writing your offer works from this Commission form rather than a clause of their own.
This Addendum is used if the Buyers will be unable to buy the new property unless their existing property is sold and closed.
How should your Lofts on Post Oak unit be priced when the next purchase waits on it?
Under this addendum, your next purchase waits on your own closing. The list price on your unit has much to do with how soon that closing comes.
Start from the county's 2026 roll. Living areas here run from 685 to 2,747 square feet, and 177 of the 350 homes are under 1,000. A recent sale near your size is likely to exist.
From that sale, adjust for the floor, the outlook, the walk to a pool or the parking, and the kitchen and bathrooms. Note whether each comparable sits in the eight-story tower or the four-story mid-rise.
The county roll leaves that split out, so confirm it from each listing's floor plan or a walk through the building.
The building-wide median of $290,000 as of November 2026 blends small and large homes. Treat it as background, and let the same-size sales carry the number.
What will a buyer compare your Lofts on Post Oak listing with, and why might it sit?
In the twelve months to November 2026, 18 homes sold here, so each close match carries weight. There were 12.7 months of inventory as of November 2026.
The median home that sold went under contract in 69 days as of November 2026. Homes closed at about 96.4 percent of list price, and a close near list can follow price cuts.
When a listing sits, look first at the same-size homes listed after yours and what they asked. Then check whether the adjustments match how a buyer reads floor, view and condition.
With a purchase waiting on your closing, that review belongs early in the listing period.
Which association charges belong in your Lofts on Post Oak sale plan?
The association's management certificate, signed on 27 February 2026, lists a $375 resale certificate, a $250 transfer fee and a $175 statement of fact fee.
It also lists $75 to update a certificate and $100 for a rush order. It says its fees change from time to time, and Rise Association Management Group, the managing agent, holds the current figures.
The certificate names each fee without saying who pays it. Your sale contract and the parties settle that.
Questions & answers
Lofts on Post Oak questions, answered
What is the TREC number for the Addendum for Sale of Other Property by Buyer?
A Texas Real Estate Commission news recap of a Broker-Lawyer Committee meeting refers to the form as TREC 10-6. The recap says the committee discussed public comments on Paragraph B of that addendum. It also weighed whether adding the terms backup or backup contract would help with clarification.
The committee decided to keep the backup wording in mind for the next time it considers the addendum's language. Ask the agent writing your offer to walk you through Paragraph B as it reads on the current form, beside the rest of the addendum, before you sign.
Can the seller of the home I want keep looking at other offers while my Lofts on Post Oak sale is pending?
The Texas Real Estate Commission's page for the Addendum for Sale of Other Property by Buyer states that a seller may receive, review and negotiate several offers simultaneously. Write your offer expecting that the seller of the next home may be weighing other buyers while your Lofts on Post Oak sale works toward closing.
The Commission's list of promulgated forms includes a back-up contract addendum among the forms that sit beside this one. Ask your agent how the seller of the next home is handling other offers, and which Commission forms are in play on that property. The part of the picture you control is your own listing: a price grounded in same-size sales and association papers ordered on time.
When my next purchase depends on my Lofts on Post Oak sale closing, when should I order my resale certificate?
Order it in step with your list date, so your buyer is not left waiting on it. The association's management certificate, signed on 27 February 2026, prices both ends of that timing. It lists one fee to refresh an aging certificate and another for a rush order. Ask the managing agent, Rise Association Management Group, for the current figures before you list.
The Commission's addendum makes your next purchase wait on your own closing, so a slow start on your sale reaches the next contract too. Rise is also the contact for anything specific to one home, such as a balance owed on your account. Clearing a balance before you list keeps it out of the way when a buyer reviews the paperwork.
Why should a license holder or an attorney fill in the sale of other property addendum on my next purchase?
The Texas Real Estate Commission's list of forms warns that mistakes in the use of a form may result in financial loss or a contract which is unenforceable. It tells anyone obtaining the forms for possible use in a real estate transaction to contact a real estate license holder or an attorney for assistance.
With a purchase resting on your Lofts on Post Oak sale, the two contracts move together. Ask the agent preparing the offer to show you how the addendum's terms line up with the timeline on your own listing. Ask, too, which points they would send to an attorney for review.
What should I ask an agent who would sell my Lofts on Post Oak unit and write my next offer with this addendum?
Ask which same-size sales your list price rests on, when the resale certificate will be requested, and how the addendum on your next offer lines up with your own listing date. Then ask for the document behind each answer. Claudette Callebs lives at Lofts on Post Oak and owns her home there.
