Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

cancelling contract

A relative of mine signed a contract to buy a house based on her expected income in a job she would be interviewing for. The job didn't pan out, and now she can't afford the house. She hasn't closed yet. Any way for her to get out of this?
