Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday he wants to give buyers until Sept. 30 to complete their purchases and qualify for tax credits of up to $8,000. Under the current terms, buyers had until April 30 to get a signed sales contract and until June 30 to complete the sale.

The proposal would only allow people who already have signed contracts to finish at the later date. The National Association of Realtors estimates that about 180,000 homebuyers who already signed purchase agreements are likely to miss the deadline.

The House backed by a vote of 409-5 a measure to extend the closing deadline to September 30 for buyers who already met the April 30 deadline to have a signed contract. The current deadline requires those buyers to close the transaction by June 30 to receive the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

Whether your home has been on the market for a while or you are just now listing your home, here are some helpful tips to sell your home fast.

Price It to Sell
Don’t give it away, but choose a realistic price. Overpricing encourages low offers and a longer selling timeframe. This is the time to be realistic, not greedy.  

Forget Your Emotions
Disassociate yourself from your home so you can make the most educated decision on pricing and negotiations. Picture it as a house, not your “home”. It will make the process faster and easier.
