If waking up in your new home before the holidays is on the list, this is the month to start. 🍂
Here’s roughly how it goes:
Pre-approval -- a few days
Looking — two to four weeks, and faster in the fall because there are fewer people out
Under contract — thirty to forty-five days
Closing — one day
Then you’re in.
Count it forward from today and it lands in December. Which is why September is the month people either start, or quietly decide to wait until spring and compete with everyone else who did the same.
No pressure either way. But if a move before the holidays is genuinely the goal, send me a message and I’ll tell you honestly whether the timing still works. 🤍
