A seller sent an e-mail to a potential buyer, offering to sell his house to her for $150,000. The buyer immediately responded via e-mail, asking whether the offer included the house’s front porch swing. The seller e-mailed back, “No, it doesn’t.” The buyer then purchased a front porch swing elsewhere and e-mailed the seller, “I accept your offer.” The seller refused to sell the house to the buyer, claiming that the offer was no longer open. Is there a contract for the sale of the house?
