How long will it take to close?
By Glenn Wegner, Lone Star Realty, Keller, TX Last reviewed: October 6, 2026
Once a contract is signed, a sale typically closes in about 30 days, depending on the buyer's loan type, the appraisal, the inspection, and title work. A cash buyer can often close faster. The most common cause of delay is a change in the buyer's finances or qualification. The contract sets the closing date, and I track every deadline so nothing slips.
