“[N]o mechanism existed within the agreement to address any potential price discrepancies. Specifically, there were no additional provisions stating how to proceed if the appraisals produced vastly different property values. ... With no specification in the agreement as to how to address ... greatly varying estimates in the value of defendants' property, the price term is not, as it must be, certain and definite.”
