In the past year, I had some buyers that took 8 months to find a house. Yes, 8 months! Yet, I had buyers that took a week... you never know until you start the process.

11 Comments on Real Estate - Austin TX - How Long Does it Take to Buy a House? It Depends on You...
"You may re-blog with links back to this post." Do you get many takers for this?
Sam, Thank you for commenting on the topic of the post and adding to the discussion. To answer your question, yes, my posts are reblogged quite often, and since they're my own thoughts and opinions, someone cannot reblog without acknowledging that I wrote it. It's simple copyright 101.
I tell people that that are building a house? Depends...
But we don't start the clock ticking until the basement is dug.
Missy, Yes, building is completely different, but how long did it take them to find the right community and builder and floorplan to build?
I don't think there is one size fits all when it comes to work with public. We have some easy ones, but mostly not so easy ones. My shortest time for a buyer from getting pre-approved, finding a house and put an offer on a house and got accepted in 3 days. That's easy. Some just takes longer to decide on anything, I think it is a personality thing. I am glad I was the one to make the decision when we bought our house, instead of my husband.
Donna:
Nice post! I've had those couples, too, who seem to want completely different things and don't seem to listen or to budge. Then they find a house they both love that was nothing like they said they wanted! It's a crazy world.
Rita, Definitely not a one size fits all, which is why it all depends on the actual buyer themselves. When my husband bought our first mutual house together, it took HIM 7 months to find a house he liked. I wished I could have fired him, it was ridiculous!
Aaron, Multiple times, I've had buyers say "no 2 stories and if it is a 2 story, master must be downstairs" and then they buy a 2 story home with the master upstairs. They don't always know...
I closed on a house on Spillman Ranch Loop last month with buyers that have been with me for three - yes, three - years. They really looked in earnest for about 27 months.
I dropped off their closing gift today - three framed Austin cityscape/point of interest black and white photos. I told them I bought them one for every year we had spent together. They thought it was hysterical. Guess I'll have to comemorate each year that follows with another one!
Shelley, I live in Falconhead West so they're right down the street...
