Typically the home buying process takes 6-8 weeks. A seller will respond to your offer within 24-48 hours, depending on the deadline put into your offer. The purchase and sales agreement (also known as “P&S”) is usually signed within two weeks after the offer is accepted. Once the P&S is signed, it will be another 4-6 weeks until the closing date. This gives time for the buyers to finalize financing and for sellers to prepare their property to transfer ownership.
