1Opinion of the Court

ZINTER, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment allowing rescission of an Offer and Agreement to Purchase (Agreement) real estate. Fred, Carol, and Daniel Wolken (Wolkens), appellees-vendees, commenced this action seeking a return of their earnest money from Leslie and Idella Wade (Wades), appellants-vendors. The trial court held that the Agreement was void ab initio due to mistake and prospective failure of consideration relating to title defects. It allowed rescission of the Agreement and ordered the earnest money returned to Wolkens. We reverse.
