Can you amend an expired contract?

The buyers did not close per the contract close date. Can they still do an
addendum to extend close date even though the original contract has expired? What
will happen with the EMD?

You can definitely amend or extend an expired contract: the parties to a contract have free discretion to amend, revise, reinstate, change the dates of, etc. a contract. All it takes is their mutual agreement; if they do agree, then they can simpy out that in writing and sign it.
