Contracts

A seller in Ohio decides to accept an offer after the buyer's stated deadline has passed. Under contract law, this is:

AA valid acceptance because the seller can accept anytime
BAn invalid acceptance because the original offer has expired✓ Correct
CA binding contract if the buyer still wants to proceed
DSubject to approval by the listing broker

Explanation

An offer that is not accepted within the specified time period lapses and can no longer be accepted to form a binding contract. The 'acceptance' after expiration would be treated as a new offer.
