What Is Bumpable Buyer?
A bumpable buyer has a contract contingent on selling their current home, but with a "bump" (kick-out) clause that lets the seller keep marketing the property and accept a stronger, non-contingent offer if one comes along — bumping the first buyer unless they remove their contingency within a set window.
Why It Matters
Sellers use bump clauses to accept a contingent offer without fully taking the property off the market, giving them a safety net if a better offer appears before the contingency is resolved.
