When do I get the money from selling my house?

When you sell a home, you get paid after you complete the closing process. How quickly the money makes it to your bank account depends on your property’s location and other potential factors that you can’t control, such as the appraisal values coming up short or the bank delaying the closing. Still, once it closes, you will see the money in your bank account on the same day or the next day.
