Answer 1

No, the Smiths’ have not made an offer to sell their home to the Jones’. The Smiths’ said that if they sell the house, they would be happy to sell to the Jones’. In the future, if the Smiths’ decide to sell, based on that comment, they would reach out the the Jones’ or their mutual friend Martin and see if they would like to make an offer on the home before releasing it out into the market.

Answer 2

Base on the scenario above, The Smiths have not made an offer to sell their home to the jones because of the reason that they didn’t intend to make an offer because of the fact that they had stated that they are not even willing to sell the house and that they also didn’t include any selling price in regards of the conversation they had with Martin and that would likely mean that the offer lacks of specificity in which consider for the offer to fail.
