How long does it take to buy a house?

How long does it take to buy a house?

Today buying a house takes longer than ever due to new lending regulations. The actual house hunting process takes only as long as you want it to. If you need to stick to a specific timeline you’ll want to keep in mind the following information and plan accordingly.

At the very beginning of your home search, you start with getting pre approved and meeting with a Realtor. Getting pre approved doesn’t take long at all and can generally be done in one day.

Once you are out looking at homes, you never know when you’ll find that perfect one. Your dream home could be the first home you see, or it could be the eighth. Putting in an offer and negotiating with the sellers takes around 1-2 days. Upon receiving an accepted contract, your lender has to start the ball rolling on their end. That is the piece that takes the longest.

Right now it’s taking on average 45-60 days to get from contract to closing. This is because in Fall of 2015, new regulations known as TRID were enacted. In very basic terms, TRID is meant to protect consumers by providing very clear and accurate disclosures of all fees. It also requires that lenders provide a closing disclosure at least 3 days before closing. So if you are planning on buying a house, plan on it taking a minimum of 60 days.

How do I choose the right lender?

January 24, 2016 by Eric Lowry

How do I choose the right lender?

When buying a home, the first step is to get pre approved. However, that can be easier said than done. Many home buyers aren’t sure how to pick the right lender for their home mortgage.

Some buyers just go with their bank where they have their checking and savings accounts. However, that’s not always the best choice. There are many reasons to at least speak with a second lender to see how they compare.

Some lenders might be able to save you a lot more money than your bank would. This can be for various reasons; sometimes they can offer a better interest rate on your mortgage, and some lenders will even waive or reduce fees to earn your business.

Most home buyers typically look at homes and write offers in the evenings or on the weekends when they are off work. But guess what, banks aren’t open at those times. It’s nearly impossible to get in touch with a typical bank lender in the evening or over the weekend.

Lenders who work for smaller companies are much easier to get in touch with late in the evening or over the weekend. They don’t set strict hours for themselves from 9-5 and will go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of.

In this market, when you find a home you love, you have to move fast. The ability for you or your agent to easily get in touch with your lender can mean the difference between you getting or losing your dream home.

The Lowry Team has over 16 years of real estate experience and can confidently recommend a great mortgage lender to help you purchase your dream home. Contact The Lowry Team today to get started. 513-874-1830
