Escrow is a short period of time (often about 30 days) where the seller takes the house off the market with the contractual expectation that you will buy the house - provided you don't find any serious problems with it when you inspect it. (For more on the escrow process, read 10 Hurdles To Closing On A New Home.)
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.
