How Long Does It Really Take to Buy a Home from Start to Finish?

Buying a home takes time — typically 60 to 90 days from “let’s do this” to “keys in hand.” Finding the right home can take a few weeks, and closing usually takes 30–45 days after your offer is accepted.

The pace depends on your lender, how quickly you submit documents, and how active your market is. A great agent helps keep things moving and avoids the “paperwork limbo” that delays closings.
