Contract Price

Definition of Contract Price:

When no mortgages are assumed, the contract price is simply equal to the gross selling price. If, however, a mortgage is assumed, the contract price is the gross selling price minus the amount of the mortgage plus any mortgage amount that is over the seller's basis and sale expenses.
