Preliminary (or provisional) sales agreement
Explanation:
Je pense que preliminary ou provisional est plus approprié en ce qui concerne la correspondance avec l'acte français, dans la mesure où un compromis de vente n'est pas un "engagement formel" (lié à l'accord des crédits, etc.) alors que sale agreement implique un contrat ferme et définitif

neutral  Tony M: It would be ideal if you could re-post this as an 'added note' to your previous answer, then maybe hide this one. :-)
