Contracts
An Arizona buyer makes a full-price offer on a property. Before the seller signs, the seller's agent calls the buyer's agent to say the seller will accept. The contract is:
ABinding, because verbal acceptance is sufficient
BNot yet binding, because the Statute of Frauds requires a written, signed acceptance✓ Correct
CBinding for the buyer but not the seller
DBinding only if the buyer confirms acceptance in writing within 24 hours
Explanation
Under Arizona's Statute of Frauds, a real estate purchase contract must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged. A verbal acceptance by the seller's agent does not create a binding contract.
