How long did it take you to close on your house?

From the time they accepted your offer to closing?

We signed the contracts in Feb and closed April 12th - we weren't in a rush so we didn't push the process along.

Re: How long did it take you to close on your house?

I *think* we signed contracts in mid February and requested a closing date of May 30th. DH had a lot going on with work and we were both travelling so the later the date, the better.

We wound up closing June 13th.

Made an offer around 1st week in August, signed Contracts end of August and we closed Oct 4th. Have to admit, my process was pretty painless.

Re: How long did it take you to close on your house?

i think it was 6 months - but we had major title issues and ended having to hire 2 title companies, a lawyer and have the lot surveyed.

It was a nightmare, but it was really worth it in the end Chat Icon

Re: How long did it take you to close on your house?

We made the offer around Dec 1, 2003, went to contract on Dec 26, and closed on April 1 (but that was our choice, we had a lease we wanted to finish and she wasn't in a rush to move).

Re: How long did it take you to close on your house?

we made an offer in september - signed the contract on 9/27 or thereabouts. The sellers didnt sign the contract until about a month later. I think we're supposed to close sometime in early january - but I think there will be delays. We are locked in to a lease until April, so we are in no rush.

Re: How long did it take you to close on your house?

Six weeks...we signed the contracts near the end of July and closed on September 15 - more so cuz the owners wanted out asap and moved quickly on everything. They were moving to NC and wanted their kids in school when it started.
Worked out great for us.Chat Icon
