Hello, and thank you for the opportunity to answer your question.

Based on the information provided, no, your email stating that you would consider a specific amount isn't binding. An email could be considered an offer to sell, thus giving the buyer the opportunity to accept the offer, making it binding. However, your use of the word "consider" is important. Plus, the facts as stated imply that his sending you the addendum was in fact the new offer, and that in the end you chose not to accept it, and thus no binding agreement was formed. Generally, landsale contracts need to be much clearer than that to be binding, and you should be ok.

I hope this helps, and thank you for the opportunity to answer your question. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Otherwise, please remember to click the green ACCEPT button so that I can receive credit for my work.
