Here’s how timelines compare between traditional and cash home sales:
Traditional Sale:
- 7–10 days to list
- 30–45 days under contract (with inspections, appraisals, lender approval)
- Total time: 45–60 days
Cash Sale:
- 1–2 days to receive an offer
- 7–10 days to close
- Total time: 7–14 days
A cash sale streamlines the process, especially for sellers looking to move quickly or avoid contingencies.
