No, you cannot. If you make an offer, you can withdraw or rescind it *before* the seller accepts; but if they accept it--e.g. they ask for a signed contract, and you sign; they clearly accepted in that case--you are bound from the moment you sign unless the contract itself contains some rescission period or provision and you properly exercise it within the defined time frame.
