That timeline assumes a straightforward, unconditional cash offer. Even without a mortgage to arrange, the file still needs an executed contract, a lawyer's search of title through Information Services Corporation and payout instructions, and Arbor Creek's mix of housing ages means some files turn up an extra step, like an old easement or a permit gap, that needs sorting before possession.
A quick closing also depends on the seller being ready to move on the same schedule, since possession day has to work for both sides, not just the buyer's lawyer. A rushed cash close is not automatically a cheap one either: legal fees in the $800 to $1,500 range still apply regardless of how fast the file moves.
If speed matters more than anything else in your situation, say so upfront so the offer, the conditions and the possession date are all built around it from the start. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
