Making an Offer on a House
Once you've found a house you like, you must make a written offer to buy it. What form that offer takes depends on what state you live in. In some states, the offer is a bare-bones statement that "I'll take the house for $X," after which the seller writes up a draft contract. In other states your offer must be so complete that the seller could sign it and you'd have a contract right there.
