What part of buying a house takes the longest?
“By far, the most time-consuming aspect of buying a house is actually finding the right house,” explained Nicastro. “This process involves researching neighborhoods, narrowing down your ideal locations and setting up an MLS search based on your purchase criteria (e.g., budget, home size, floor plan and lot size).”
It can take weeks or even months before you find the perfect home to make an offer on.
