This is an assignment: you take over the original buyer's contract for Festival · 1 bed + den. You'd pay the seller about $51,810 when the assignment closes (their $135,800 deposit, less $83,990 because the asking price is below what they paid) and you pay the builder the balance at final closing (estimated occupancy: July 2025).
