Even though you offered to purchase the property at the owner's asking price, there are other terms and conditions that the owner is not obligated to accept and he/she can decide to withdraw the property from the market at any time. In order to have a binding contract, you must have an offer and acceptance of that offer with consideration for the promises of the parties.
