Normally, not in any state. The Statute of Frauds provides that all agreements to a real estate contract must be in writing to be enforceable. BUT, if the court finds that someone acted in good faith on verbal elements and incurred injury as a result, they can modify this. The two legal doctrines involved here are equitable estoppel and part performance; which allow the court to enforce verbal contracts to avoid an unjust result.
