Your offer is accepted. Here is what typically happens between that moment and closing.
Typical steps
- Deposit goes to the escrow agent
- Home inspection and other due diligence
- Appraisal and loan processing, if financing
- Insurance quotes and title work
- Condo or HOA approval, if required
- Final walk-through and closing
Timelines
Inspection periods are often 10 to 15 days, and closings often take 30 to 45 days, but both are set by the contract. Keep every deadline in view.
