Attached residential condominium sales: liquidated damages.

February 21, 2025

Summary

If enacted, this bill would amend California Civil Code Section 1675 to reduce liquidated damages in attached residential condominium sales (subject to a homeowners' association) to no more than 2% of the purchase price, down from the general 3% cap for other residential properties. It also requires the buyer to agree in writing in a separate initialed paragraph and mandates that the deposit be held in escrow or trust. The change limits buyer exposure but does not apply to corporate sellers or other property types.
