Terminology

(MA) Mutual Acceptance
Mutual Acceptance is what happens when an offer is accepted by the seller and the buyer and the contract is signed. At this point the house becomes "pending" and the sales process begins.
(CTG/CNTG) Contingent
When a home is "contingent" it means that an offer was accepted and the home is "pending" but the buyer must first sell their previous home. Contingent offers, however, can be "bumped" meaning that a reasonable non-contingent offer may be accepted while a home is contingent and the contingent offer would then be dropped. Contingent homes are essentially still available.
Pending
When a home is "pending" it means that an offer was accepted and the home is going through the sales process.
Closed
When a home is "closed" it means that it is sold and the sales process is complete.
