I’m in the process of buying my first home and trying to understand the timeline for closing. I’ve heard different things from friends and family, and I’m getting a bit confused.
Can anyone tell me how long it typically takes to close on a house after an offer is accepted? What are the main steps involved, and are there any common delays I should be aware of? I’m trying to plan my move and want to have a realistic idea of the timeline.
Plan for 30-60 days to close on your house with a mortgage. Cash deals are faster. Each closing step takes time, so understanding the process is important.
Closing on a house usually takes about 45 days from offer acceptance to completion of the closing process. Cash deals can finalize faster, skipping loan approval and underwriting, often completing in fewer weeks than financed purchases.
