Most of the time, yes — conditions are normal. The key is understanding what they mean and whether they make sense for your situation. Sudbury realtor Tyler Peroni explains how to look at conditional offers the right way.
A conditional offer simply means the buyer needs to check a few boxes before the deal is firm. The most common conditions in Sudbury are:
Home inspection
Financing approval
Buyer selling their current home

Tyler always tells sellers: don’t panic when you see conditions. They’re part of almost every offer, and they protect both sides. What matters is the strength of the buyer and the timeline attached.
For example, a financing condition from a well-prepared buyer with a solid pre-approval is usually no big deal. An inspection condition is also normal — and if you’ve taken good care of your home, it’s often smooth sailing.
The bigger one is the “sale of buyer’s home” condition. This isn’t always bad, but Tyler looks closely at the buyer’s home, its price, and the local market. If it’s a home that should sell quickly in New Sudbury, Garson, or the South End, the risk is low. If the buyer’s home is overpriced or in a slower area, he’ll walk you through your options.
The goal isn’t to avoid conditions — it’s to choose conditions that make sense. Sometimes a slightly conditional offer is better than a firm one with a weaker price or shaky buyer.
