How long does it usually take to close on a home for sale in Dayton?

I get questions like this all the time from both Dayton home buyers and Dayton home sellers.  As with anything... there is really no easy answer to this and Dayton Ohio Real Estate is no different.  Lets start with the basics of what happen when you buy  Dayton homes for sale. 

Steps in buying Dayton homes for sale

• Accepted purchase contract on the Dayton Ohio real estate.
  
• Home title search
  
• Inspections
• Post inspection negotiations
• Home appraisal
• Home buyer loan application and approval.
• Real Estate closing and loan funding.

This is a partial list... there can be literally hundreds of things that go on from the time it is a Dayton home for sale to a Dayton home that is SOLD... 

This example also assumes a home buyer is using mortgage financing and not paying cash.

Time to buy a Dayton homes for sale

Here is the basic answer to this question. 

1. It is typical for a purchase contract on a Dayton home for sale to state the closing will take place in 30 days.
   1. That is negotiable between the home buyer and the home seller.
   2. 30 is just the most common time frame for a Dayton real estate closing.
2. As a general rule if there is a mortgage loan involved the transaction will need a min. of 2 weeks to complete all the steps listed above and the untold number of issues that arise in a typical Dayton home sale.
3. It is not uncommon for closings to be negotiated for somewhere between 30-60 days on Dayton homes for sale.
   1. This could be for several reasons but is ultimately determined by the home buyer and home seller...
      1. Need for home seller to find a home of their choice.
      2. Need for the home buyer to sell their existing Dayton home for sale
      3. Home buyer has a lease that will expire at a later date.
      4. Home buyers or home sellers want to wait until a certain date due to job, school or other date specific event.
      5. Could be hundreds of reason these are just a few.

I hope this helps to understand the basic process of Dayton homes for sale to Dayton real estate sold...

Buy NOW: Mortgage Rates are LOW...

There are a lot of homes for sale in Dayton Ohio area.  So if you are looking for homes for sale in Dayton then the selection is great. 

What about Dayton Ohio area mortgage rates? Here is how rates work...

• The Federal Reserve actually has nothing to do with mortgage rates directly.
• Mortgage rates more closely follow the bond market and the expectations for inflation.
• Rates now vary from about 6% to 6.5% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
  
• The expectation is that by next year rates will be around 7%.

That means that there is a very REAL penalty for waiting... it sounds good but waiting could cost you thousands in higher mortgage payments... Dayton Ohio real estate is a great deal right now.

Check out my post on Rules for buying Dayton Homes for sale for other things to consider when looking for Dayton homes for sale or buying Dayton Ohio area real estate.

Increased mortgage rates = less home buying power

• Consider this example
  • If you can buy a $150,000 home today at 6.25%
  • If mortgage rates go up to 7% in the next year...
  • Then you could only buy a Dayton homes for sale of about $138,000
  • That's almost an 8% drop in the price of home you can buy.

So if you wait prices may come down but if rates go up... you should buy NOW even if home prices continue to drop... which I think they WILL... they wont drop more than the 8% you stand to loose in waiting...

So start looking right now at all the great deals that are available in Dayton Real Estate.  You can search every home listed for sale in Dayton real estate right here on my site...
