Buying a Home
Home Buying Timeline
Once an offer is accepted, many buyers wonder what happens next. The process can feel fast-moving, especially with multiple deadlines happening at the same time.
This timeline provides a simple overview of the typical contract-to-closing process in Texas, designed as a quick reference alongside the First-Time Home Buyer's Guide.
Timelines vary depending on financing, inspections, negotiations, title work, and other transaction-specific factors, but this visual can help you understand the usual sequence of milestones.
Keep in Mind
- Every transaction is unique.
- Deadlines in the contract matter.
- Respond quickly to lender requests.
- Avoid major financial changes before closing.
- Ask questions whenever something is unclear.
