[quote=LAAFTERHOURS]Sorry if previously covered but I have only owned a home in the state of virginia so I am not familiar with the time it takes in CA to close on a home on a resale.

Could someone tell me typically how long from the time an offer is accepted until the time keys can be in your possession for

15-45 days

You can, of course, specify a different number in your offer.
[quote=LAAFTERHOURS]

REO

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.
[quote=LAAFTERHOURS]
I know it can vary but just looking for avg times. Thanks[/quote]

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).

SD is right.
Lots of conversations recently about how “my place has lots of upgrades” because clearly that explains why they want an extra 40%.

I have taken listings on less than half of the places where I have been interviewed for listings.

This is probably because I have a tendency of saying things like “$500,000 is not a supportable sales price and listing it at that price would be a waste of time for both of us.”

I have been trying to be more politic of late.

The bright side is that I have been getting calls lately from people I said that to a year ago.

I am glad, though, that nobody can call me dishonest.

I would donate a lot more than that.

I disagree with the consensus here more often than not. Still, I really feel that groupthink and monothink are the enemies of good ideas.

I have really enjoyed this site and yeah, I would gladly promote or support it.
