Withdrawal from Agreement to Sell

Question

Is there an issue with withdrawing from an oral agreement to sell an apartment? I should note that the first buyer is not paying the advertised amount but managed to negotiate a lower price.

Answer

Hello, 

If there is a justified reason, it is permissible to cancel. 

It is recommended to consult a rabbi knowledgeable in these matters before making such a decision.
