How Long Does It Take to Buy a House?
Estimating a timeline for buying a home will depend on many variables, more importantly your time and schedule, your ability to pre-qualify for a mortgage loan, and the amount of your pre-qualification before you can start your search.
Other factors are the current market conditions, the availability of homes in the area where you wish to live, and if you are using a Real Estate Agent, how good of a hunter she/he is, how good of a negotiator is this person you just barely met, how well do they know the ins and outs of the market, and can you trust them with the largest procurement investments you are about to make.
