    In contract

    Explanation:

    In real estate, a property is in contract when both buyers and sellers have signed an agreement for the sale of the property, but the sale s not closed yet. Generally this happens when some paperwork is not finished or when the buyers' bank has not approved the mortgage yet.

    Missing paperwork can be solved by getting title insurance, but the part of the unapproved mortgage represents a bigger problem because until the buyer has the loan approved by the bank, the possibility of not getting it always exists and they could lose their earnest money.
