Contracts
In Louisiana, when a buyer makes a written offer with a 48-hour acceptance deadline, and the seller counters after 50 hours, the original offer is:
AStill binding because real estate offers are always extended automatically
BExpired — the seller's counter after the deadline is a new offer that the buyer may accept or reject✓ Correct
CExtended automatically for another 48 hours
DVoid because the counter was late
Explanation
A counter-offer made after the original offer's acceptance deadline is treated as a new offer — the original offer expired at the deadline. The buyer is now free to accept, reject, or counter the seller's new proposal without any obligation.
