House Buying

[jennythereader]

A couple of questions for my friends who own houses:

How long did it take you to go from "I'm (or we're) going to start looking" to "thank goodness, we're (or I'm) all moved in"?

How much of that time was spent finding the house, and how much of it was spent jumping through hoops for the bank?

We started looking in early April, found the house on June 20, made an offer on June 21, the offer was accepted June 25, we closed on September 18, and moved in from September 19 through... well.. there are still a few things at my brother's apartment but we've been living in the house since September 20.

So about 3 months for each half of the process. Good to know. Thanks!
