How Long Does It Take to Close on a Home?

It typically takes around 30 to 45 days to close on a home after contract is executed.  The factors below affect the contract timeline:

1. Mortgage Financing:

Mortgage timelines depend on lender efficiency, loan complexity, and potential delays in obtaining documentation or appraisal.

2. Home Inspection and Appraisal:

Scheduling a home inspection and appraisal can take time.  Repairs may be necessary.

3. Title Search and Insurance:  

The title company does a title search to check for outstanding liens on the property.

4. Contingencies and Negotiations:

Contingencies in the contract can affect the closing timeline.

5. Local Factors and Seasonal Variations: 

The time required to close on a home can vary depending on rules and laws to close the transaction.
