The short answer:
On average, the home buying process takes 30-45 days from accepted offer to closing. However, the total timeline from starting your search can be 3-6 months.
Here's the typical timeline:
Pre-approval: 1-3 days
House hunting: 2-12 weeks (varies by market)
Offer & negotiation: 1-7 days
Under contract to closing: 30-45 days
Cash buyers can often close in as little as 2 weeks!
