How long does it take usually to close a mortgage loan?

I am looking at a home that I want to purchase, but my lease is up in 2 months and I don't want to renew. I have ok credit at 690 and about 45K saved which I would like to spend 25 on a down payment. The house price is 184K. How long do you think it would take to close the loan? I've already read what documents I generally need and have everything ready to go. by marywe_819_206 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Jun 19th 2012 Reply

You better get boogieing.... in general it takes 3 to 6 weeks, however that's in the perfect world... any hiccup can push that back weeks.. And nowadays there are a lot of hiccups.. Assuming everything is clean with no issues, you will have plenty of time.. The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker, not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Depending on the lender and the loan program, turn times can vary from 10 business days up to 60 days. If you are serious about purchasing a home and closing before your lease expires, there is no better time than the present to get started. Just remember that buying a home is more than an accepted purchase agreement and the home loan. You still have to deal with any issues discovered through a home inspection, as well as any appraisal related issues. What are you waiting for...get started now.

What are you waiting for? Normally a purchase transaction will take from 2-3 weeks, but with the increase in volumes caused by the surge in refinance due to both the HARP roll-out and the new FHA Streamline program, turn times are beginning to stretch. You can't get done too soon. Start now, and when your lender gets done early, you can choose to close early or sit and wait the last week or so knowing that everything is all done. Make sure you are working with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker, rather than one of the big banks or national mortgage factories. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. He/She will have access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can properly guide you. But more importantly, He/She is trained to take a look at the various different options available to you and guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation.
