Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Right of Contract Recision

If a buyer gives an offer to purchase a residential property, and the owner accepts the offer, thus making it a ratified contract, does the buyer have three days or 72 hours in which they may change their mind and withdraw their offer or back out of the contract?

No. Once a clear offer has been made and there is acceptance of the offer, a valid, enforceable contract exists. Since this is a contract for the sale of land, it should be in writing pursuant to the Statute of Frauds.
