[¶ 1] This appeal involves interpretation of an arbitration clause in a purchase and sale agreement incident to the sale of a home. Lance Roy 1 and Victory Homes, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as Victory) appeal from an amended order entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Delahanty, J.), compelling the parties in this case to engage in nonbinding arbitration. Victory argues that the court erred in not interpreting the arbitration clause in the purchase and sale agreement to require binding arbitration. We agree and vacate the order.
