it depends on the contract, if there is a mortgage contigency fee, how many days is it? If the Buyer exercised due dilligence in obtaining a financing. If he did not, or no commitment was issued, or financing was denied for some reason(some reasons will cause default of the contract), then the contract could be nullified.
