[SAVE THIS] How long does it take to get to the closing table once you are under contract? Well... let's find out...⁠
⁠
The average contract 👉🏼 closing period sits around 21-30 days. Here's how it typically goes ⬇️ ⁠
⁠
Week 1:⁠
✹ Accepted Contract: everyone has agreed to the terms of the contract, and your agent will send it to the lender and closing attorney⁠
✹ Wire Earnest Money: earnest money needs to be wired to the closing attorney's escrow account within 3-5 days of the binding agreement date⁠
✹ Inspection: Inspection will need to be completed and a report returned⁠
⁠
Week 2:⁠
✹ Negotiate repairs: What repairs are you asking the seller to do? Will you be comfortable moving forward if they say no?⁠
✹ Appraisal ordered: Appraisal will need to be ordered by the lender⁠
⁠
Week 3: ⁠
✹ Appraisal returned: Confirming the home is worth with contract price⁠
✹ Title Search Returned: Ordered by the closing attorney to ensure the title is clear & that there are no liens on the home⁠
✹ Financing approval: the lender clears all financing conditions and the buyer is approved for the loan⁠
⁠
Week 4: ⁠
✹ Reinspection: Were there any items repaired that need to be reinspected by the home inspector?⁠
✹ Final Walk: Here is where you'll make sure the home looks as it did when you first saw it⁠
✹ Closing: Sign your papers and walk with keys!⁠

Posted • .and.cedar 4️⃣ things you can do if the home you're trying to purchase appraises for less than your contract price👇⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you're shopping for a home in this market, chances are you've been in a couple of multiple offer situations. 🙃 Because home buyers are agreeing to pay more than the list price, what happens if the appraisal does not support the contract price? Let's dig in...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1️⃣You can ask that the seller negotiate down to the appraised value.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2️⃣ You can agree to pay the difference between the appraised value and contract price at closing. (ex- Under contract at $350,000, home appraised at $340,000, $10,000 add'l out of pocket at closing)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3️⃣ You can meet the seller halfway and ask them to come down but also pay the difference out of pocket at closing⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4️⃣ You can terminate the contract and walk away from the deal. Depending on the language agreed to in the contract would determine who would keep the earnest money.⁠⁠
