Thought we were buying at one price then it changed
We found property for sale, the
listing agent told us they
could move the boundary, I
asked if seller would take 50k
for 2 acres instead of 79 for
3.5. He said yes. And told us
to send an email of our
intentions to purchase 2 acres
for 50, he then proceeded with
adjustment, after 5 months they
gave us a contract for much
more than we thought we were
buying at. Is there anything we
can do?

If he responded back to you in writing that he was accepting your offer to buy 2 acres for $50k, you would force him to do so IF you were willing to litigate (sue him): if he accepted your offer in writing--whcich includes if he replied to your email accepting it--that would form a contract. But you need to be able to prove his acceptance of the offer.
