A negotiation or transaction that occurs after an initial deal has been made, or additional arrangements made following an agreement.
From 'after' plus 'deal' (from Old English dæl, meaning 'a portion or share'). Commercial terminology reflecting the reality that agreements often require follow-up negotiations.
In real estate, the afterdeal is often more important than the original deal—it's where inspections, financing adjustments, and last-minute renegotiations determine who actually wins.
