How long does it actually take to buy a home?

In this episode of The Powers Playbook, Aaron Powers breaks down the full home buying timeline from start to finish — from getting pre-approved, to shopping for homes, making an offer, going through escrow, completing inspections, appraisal, final signing, and getting the keys.

For many buyers, one of the biggest questions is simple:

“Where do I even start?”

This episode walks through the entire process in a clear, practical way so buyers can better understand what to expect before they begin.

While every buyer’s situation is different, Aaron explains why real estate often works in roughly 90-day cycles — with the first 30 days focused on preparation and pre-approval, the second 30 days focused on shopping and finding the right home, and the final 30 days focused on escrow and closing.

• How to get started with the home buying process
• Why your first step should be speaking with a real estate agent and lender
• What happens during the pre-approval process
• Why real estate often works in 90-day cycles
• What buyers should expect during the home search
• How the offer process works
• What happens once you enter escrow
• Why inspections and appraisals matter
• What buyers should know about final signing
• When you actually get the keys to your new home

A typical home buying process can often be broken into three major stages:

First 30 Days: Get Prepared

This is where you connect with your real estate agent, speak with a lender, review your finances, and go through the pre-approval process.

Second 30 Days: Find the Home

This is when you begin shopping, touring homes, understanding what is available, and deciding which property fits your needs, budget, and goals.

Final 30 Days: Escrow & Closing

Once your offer is accepted, you move into escrow. This is where inspections, appraisal, lender conditions, paperwork, final signing, and closing all take place.

Buying a home can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what comes next.

But when you understand the steps ahead of time, the process becomes much easier to navigate.

The goal of this episode is to help buyers feel more prepared, more confident, and more informed before they start the journey toward homeownership.
