How long does it take to sell a house on Long Island?
Written and reviewed by Andrew Ragusa, Licensed Real Estate Broker and Broker of Record, REMI Realty LLC — 11+ years of transactions across Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens.
The short answer
From a fully signed contract to closing, a typical Long Island house sale takes approximately 45 to 60 days in my experience. Before that clock starts, we may need time to prepare the home, market it, review offers, handle inspections and get the contract signed. That part varies from one property to another, so the entire process takes longer than 45 to 60 days. Co-op sales often take longer because of board review and approval. We can also discuss a closing date that works with your next move when evaluating offers.
