If the seller is refusing to do what he promised to do in the contract, it certainly sounds like a breach of contract to me. I can't say for sure, of course, without reading the contract itself.
However, not every breach of contract, particularly in the real estate area, is enough to get out of the contract. It is very easy to make an expensive mistake here, so I would recommend you talk to an experienced real estate attorney in your area.
