The answer

The sale is now contract-controlled, but it may still depend on buyer conditions. Track the deposit, every condition and deadline, document delivery, inspection access, repair or amendment requests, backup interest, seller obligations, mortgage payout, title and RPR items, lawyer file, signing, adjustments, insurance, moving, possession and key-release authority. Avoid making promises outside written amendments.

Calgary-specific context

The property generally must remain protected and in the contractually required condition through possession, including Calgary weather and vacancy risks.

What to do next

Create one dated accepted-offer-to-possession board and preserve a failed-condition fallback.

Check your financing for the specific property.

A pre-approval is not final financing. Confirm the property, appraisal, insurer, cash to close and lender conditions before deciding whether to remove a financing condition. A planning score cannot authorize a purchase.
