My husband and I are buying our first home, and it seems like it is taking forever. For all you homeowners out there, how long does this process normally take? Thanks for the info in advance

It has been years since I have bought my last house, so I can not tell you for sure. I think it really depends on if the house is new or if you are buying it from others living in the home, there would be more paper work. I think it should only take a few weeks.

I think it has been three weeks, we were approved for the loan and now it seems like there is all this piddly stuff. We hope to have the closing by next friday

Once you have found a house, it can take from 1-6 months. There are alot of things involved. I am a real estate agent, and have seen some ( all cash) close in weeks, and other depending on the changes in a contract, take as long as 6 months. Most average around three.
