how long to move after signing contracts
Hi Heather: The detail is in the contract. When you sign a purchase contract, you negotiate the terms and conditions about buying the house. On of the terms you negotiate for is when you have to move out the house.In CA, we normally do a 30 days close, but depending on each side's needs, the contract may call for different numbers of days or rent backs after close.. Normally you close escrow, and at 5pm on that day the new owner takes possession of the property they purchased. 2. It is possible to negotiate possession AFTER the close of escrow by a few days.
