Homeowners often believe an “as-is” sale means the buyer is not permitted to cancel the contract due to property condition. This confuses as-is with the inspection contingency.

The inspection contingency contract clause allows the buyer time to “inspect” the premises. The buyer may cancel during this period without violating the contract.
