The timeline from house purchase to delivery typically spans 45-60 days, involving pre-purchase negotiations (1-2 weeks), mortgage underwriting (7-14 days), property inspection and repairs (1-2 weeks), and closing (3-5 business days). Clear communication and documentation are critical to avoid delays.

This timeline aligns with industry averages from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which reports a 45-day median from offer to closing. Mortgage underwriting averages 10 days, per Fannie Mae data, while property inspections and repairs take 7-10 days, as cited by the National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI). Delays often stem from financing bottlenecks, which affect 18% of transactions, or inspection-related issues, responsible for 12% of timeline extensions, according to NAR. Electronic closing platforms have reduced processing time by 20% since 2020, per the American Land Title Association (ALTA). Proactive coordination between buyers, lenders, and agents ensures adherence to deadlines, minimizing financial and legal risks. For example, 30% of delays occur due to incomplete documentation, as highlighted by the Urban Land Institute. Ensuring all parties adhere to standardized timelines and leverage technology, such as digital signatures and automated underwriting tools, can compress the process by up to 15%.
