That depends on when the sellers need to close. It will be specified on their closing papers. If it doesn't work for you, you can counter offer with a different closing date and hope the sellers will agree but they will probably want original asking price or other specification removed or something of that nature. It depends how desperate they are to sell. If it's a new house, it depends when they will be done building. Be prepared to move in a month after they have suggested just in case it is not finished. It is best to have some flexibility if it's not built yet because it can be nightmarish if you're not prepared for a later move in date. Ask for referrals from the builder to see if they close on time generally. Good luck, I know how exciting this time in your life is!!

Approx. 30 days. However, if the sellers have not moved out yet, they may ask for a 3-5 day extension for after closing to move out. Sometimes people do this so if for some reason the buyers paperwork doesn't go through and the loan fails, they did not move out and into something else for nothing.
By the way Congratulations

as quickly as 30 days as long as everything is in order. It also depends on the state you live in, some states are more involved than others, thus draging the process out. I bought my home last year, made an offer on Feb. 26 and got a closing date of March 23.

That depends on a lot of things. Many sellers want to close on a certain date and may hold it to that date. It also depends on working out the financing and any repairs that the house may need that you and the seller agree on. Inspections have to be completed too. Other than that, you can close as soon as the two of you agree.

Took me about a month and a half, but it depends on if everything goes ok with the financing, appraisal, and inspections. Delays in any of these areas could extend the closing time to a few months easily.

As long as all the paper work is in order it will take about a month. you have to have appraisers and inspectors come in and look at the house for the bank and you. It takes awhile but it is sooooo worth the wait. Good luck and enjoy your new place

usually 3-4 weeks. Closings are usually scheduled for the last day of the month for billing and accounting reasons. However, it can take a couple of months if there is a problem with the paperwork, credit reports, title, ...
