if plan to close at the end of May when should I sign the formal purchase agreement? is it the later the better, since I should pay the second large deposit when sign the agreement. thanks for the advise
If you are asking when to make an offer and planning to close a deal before 5/31, try to do it 40 to 50 days earlier. a typical transaction can be closed within 20 days, but sometime you will need more time to deal with the seller on the price and repairing issues and with the bank on your mortgage related issues.
