Can it be binding? Yes.  Is it binding in your case? Maybe, maybe not.  A lot goes into the analysis of whether or not a valid contract was formed.  Generally speaking, a valid contract requires an offer, acceptance, and the terms spelled out in sufficient detail.  Even if there is a valid contract, you may have other options available to you if you can no longer sell the property, etc.  I recommend sitting down with an attorney for a full consultation to advise you of the law in your particular circumstance. Best of luck.
