A conditional offer has at least one condition that must be satisfied for the deal to go through. You can include conditions for just about anything, though the most common are financing home inspection and broom-swept and, for a condo, a status certificate review (the status certificate includes important details about your condo, such as the reserve fund, any special assessments or lawsuits, condo bylaws, rules, maintenance fees and utilities; ask your lawyer to review it.) Although they're not conditional per se, ask for three walk-throughs as well. Think long and hard before including conditions, as they could cost you your dream home. If you do include conditions, make the deadlines tight--two or three days for a home inspection and a week for financing are generally enough. [2017] - Sean Cooper
