The pre-listing phase is usually the longest and most variable part for a downsizer, since decades of belongings and decisions about what to keep take real time, often more than the sale itself once a lawyer and the Court of King's Bench process, if an estate is involved, are factored in.
Once listed, a typical residential condition period runs about 5 to 10 business days for financing and inspection, and possession is then negotiated to match wherever the seller is moving next, whether that is a smaller home already secured or a temporary stay with family.
