It depends on exactly what the terms of the contract state. Some states such as South Carolina have a "time is of the essence" clause with respect to the closing date. Other states, such as in North Carolina, have a more flexible approach to the closing date. They offer a "reasonable" extension of time for either party, with a consideration (money) to be paid to the party who did NOT cause the delay.


Are you the seller or the buyer?
