The contract may be valid depending on how it was presented to the parties and how the signature was executed. For a more in depth analysis, please contact us.

Contracts for real estate have to be in writing. They also have to be the complete deal. I would guess that under normal circumstances, the e-mail would work.
E-mail would appear to be a writing but it seems like it would be hard to keep it from being changed. Hence as a lawyer I would be more comfortable if I sent a contract by e-mail but received it back signed, notorized by overnight mail and a copy by fax.

Mr. Colleluori is correct. If you have all the elements of a binding contract, then you have a contract. Proving in court who was actually sending the emails could be difficult though.
