30-45 days
Of the types of distress sales, these are the most similar to normal sales. There are differences.
The reason I describe this time frame is that the seller is often unable to perform in less than 4 weeks. I have tried with all-cash buyers.

The really weird time frames, in my experience, arise in short sales and in new construction sales. That can be 4 days or 6 months (yes I have seen both).
