An escalation clause is a real estate contract, sometimes called an escalator, that lets a home buyer say: “I will pay x price for this home, but if the seller receives another offer that's higher than mine, I'm willing to increase my offer to y price.” In theory, an escalation clause is fairly simple. In practice, there are a lot of details involved with this clause. While escalation clauses vary significantly, the general escalation addendum has a few basic components: What is the original offer of purchase price? How much will that price be escalated above any other competitive bid? What is the maximum amount that the purchase price can reach in case of multiple offers?

例句1

Some home and real estate sellers simply state that they will not accept an offer with an escalation clause. They would prefer that every buyer submits exactly what they’re willing to pay for the home or real estate.

一些房屋和房地产卖家只是简单地表示，他们不会接受带有浮动条款的报价。他们更希望每位买家提交他们愿意为房子或房地产支付的确切价格。

例句2

Escalation clauses can cause a lot of stress for home buyers, but when they’re boiled down to the basics, they’re fairly straightforward. Remember to be realistic, to be comfortable with how much of a competing bid you’re willing to offer, and to confidently go after a piece of real estate at that price.

浮动条款可能会给购房者带来很大压力，但当它们归结到基本问题时，它们相当简单。记住要现实一点，要对你愿意出价多少感到满意，要自信地以那个价格收购一块房地产。
