How long does a conventional loan take to close in Florida?

Short answer

30-45 days from a clean pre-approval and accepted contract is typical for a Florida conventional purchase. Cash-out refinance, jumbo, or condo files can run longer. Appraisal turn time, condo project review, and underwriter conditions are the common timeline movers.

Plain-English explanation

What this actually means.

Standard Florida conventional purchase: 30-45 days. Variables: appraisal turn time (Florida appraisers run hot/cold seasonally), insurance binder availability and pricing, title work, condo project approval (can add 1-3+ weeks), and underwriter conditions. Broker channels sometimes clear conditions faster than retail banks; timing depends on the specific lenders and the file. New construction or jumbo can push 45-60 days. Subject to lender capacity.

What can change the answer?

Where this can move.

Florida insurance premiums, property tax millage and Save Our Homes rules, county property-appraiser practice, HOA dues, CDD fees, and condo law can change the answer.
