Your client, Becca, wants to buy her first home. She decides to make an offer on a bungalow owned by Ricky. Becca's offer must be ______ to be enforceable.

While oral agreements can be made, they are often not enforceable in real estate transactions due to the Statute of Frauds. Relying on oral agreements increases the risk of misunderstandings and disputes over the terms, which is why a written contract is necessary to establish clear and legally binding commitments.

The price of the offer is a negotiable term and does not determine the enforceability of the contract. An offer can be made below the list price, and it can still be valid as long as it is in writing and accepted by the seller. Enforceability depends on the existence of a written document rather than the offer amount.

Delivery of the offer, while important, does not affect its enforceability if it is not in writing. An offer can be delivered through various means (e.g., email, postal service) but must also be documented in writing to meet legal standards for enforceability in real estate transactions.
