It feels like its taking FOREVER!!!

We found our house on Oct. 14...offer was accepted on Oct. 16. House was inspected the next week and the owners agreed to fix the few issues the inspector found. We met with our mortgage broker 2x (last week to complete mortgage application) but its now Nov 17 and we havent heard anything from REA (he is buyer's and seller's REA) to say where we are at with their lawyer writing the contract.

We still need to find home insurance and get a gift letter signed for the bank.
We want to close by the 2nd week of Dec so we can move and use my x-mas vacation to unpack and such....are we being unreasonable?

Is it just my impatience that it seems to be taking longer than anticipated?

Re: It feels like its taking FOREVER!!!

sometimes it takes a while - i closed last december so I feel your pain.

but,we signed our contracts the week after thanksgiving and closed the friday before christmas. luckily there were no title/survey issues. so its definitely possible to close in a month!


good luck!!
