If we have already found the property and have all of our docs in place, can we expect to close a purchase loan in less than a month? Can we be in our new home by March 1. I have heard that lenders are backed up. What is the average close of escorw? by MarioS_446_938 from Santa Clara, California. Jan 27th 2012

Hello Mario,We are a direct lender that funds all of our conventional and VA Loans here in San Diego, CA. With a complete file, escrow title and fully executed contracts, we are currently running 24 hours for underwriten approval and 48 hours for docs. I would give 1 week for ordering and completing and appraisal report. All in all, we are averaging 2 to 3 weeks.Congratulations on finding your new home.
If you are dealing with one of the big banks, the answer is no. They are the ones that are backed up. I just closed a VA loan in less than 3 weeks that was "in-process" with one of the big 5 banks for over 70 days. Make sure you are dealing with a local Mortgage Banker. Most mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers are more nimble than the big behemoths and can get the job done quickly. The big boys? Not so much.

As Bert stated... large banks cannot close on time at all... contact a local mortgage broker, not a bank and apply with them.. if you have everything in place, you can close inside of 2 weeks with some lenders... WilliamAcres.com
We usually can close a loan within 30 days. Some larger banks and take over 45-60 days.
