What exactly do you mean by "mortgage approval"? I got my mortgage approval almost right away, but with contingencies - appraisal, title, etc. But from when I was "cleared to close" it was a couple of weeks, only because the sellers weren't ready - otherwise it probably could have been a couple of days to a week to close from the cleared to close date

I guess I meant clear to close. We were just advised they are waiting for something from the title company in order for final approval.

Once you are cleared to close, it's just a matter of everyone agreeing to a date. So, it could be a couple of days or more, depending on scheduling issues. Also, I guess if there is anything the seller needs to do (in my case, they had to have the pool opened and running before the closing date), that might cause some delay as well

We bought five years ago, but once we found the house it was one month from offer to close.

Usually banks want to close fairly quickly once the clear to close is given, but there are TRID requirements (3 business days must elapse). It's usually about a week.

But every situation is different - depends on the parties' preferences, attorney availability, etc.
