Whether you are a first-time home buyer or a seasoned pro, this is a pretty typical question.
Luckily, you don’t have to shut down your search or buy the last house you saw after a set limit. Can you imagine if that was the case...."um, honey....bring the checkbook tonight b/c this is #12". Personally, I don't think that would go over very well...
If you’d just like to get a handle on the amount of time it will take you can reference the averages.
According to the 2007 NAR Profile on Home Buyers and Sellers, NAR’s annual survey, the typical home buyer was shopping for a median 8 weeks and saw approximately 12 homes.
My personal experience has been very close to these numbers. The average number of viewings for my clients is around 10-14 (but has ranged from 1 house to 42). The time frame has been a bit quicker, around 6-7 weeks but as you might expect, has gone as long as a year or more.
