Ardente v. Horan

After the Horans (defendants) accepted Ardente's (plaintiff) $250,000 bid and sent a purchase and sale agreement, Ardente signed and returned it along with a $20,000 deposit and a letter asking whether certain furniture and fixtures were included and requesting they remain with the property; the Horans refused to include those items and returned the unsigned agreement and deposit, and the trial court found Ardente's letter was a conditional acceptance (a counteroffer) that the Horans never accepted, so no contract formed.
