What is Addendum?

An addendum is a separate document added to the purchase contract to include, clarify, or change specific terms after the main agreement is written. Both parties sign it, and it becomes part of the contract. Addenda cover things like agreed-upon repairs or special conditions not in the standard form.

Example: After inspection, the buyer and seller sign an addendum stating the seller will replace the water heater before closing.
