Your Timeline for Buying in 2024

"How long does it take to buy a home?"

The average timeline from preparation to searching to closing is anywhere from 6-8+ weeks. In a simple scenario, it's broken down like this:

• Realtor Meeting

• Mortgage Approval: 1-2 weeks

• Viewing homes: 1 - X weeks

• Under contract: 2 weeks

• Conditionally sold: 2 - 4 + weeks

• Closing day

So the most efficient timeline is ~ 6 weeks and it can run up to 8+ weeks.

Obviously, depending on the home type you're looking for - your search for could take weeks or months, depending on whether you’re a first time buyer looking for a simple home, a move-up family in search of the perfect home in your desired neighbourhood, or downsizing waiting for the right condo or bungalow to hit the market. 

But overall, if you want to move this year, it's time to contact your realtor. It's never too early to reach out!
