Turning down a job offer after you have already accepted it can be an uncomfortable experience. However, as long as you have not signed an employment contract with the company, you are legally allowed to change your mind.
Even after there is an accepted offer, however, neither party is legally obligated to go through with the transaction at this point. Either party can back out of the deal without being in breach of contract.
It's possible to back out of an accepted home offer, but there could be consequences if you don't plan ahead carefully.
