Buyers can typically move in on closing day if occupancy and closing dates align. However, differing occupancy dates may occur due to various agreements or seller circumstances. Understanding the occupancy date is crucial for planning logistics like moving and utility setups. It’s common for contracts to include provisions for seller rent-backs or other delays that push the move-in date past closing. Buyers should clarify these details to avoid surprises and ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
Understanding your agreed-upon occupancy date will help you plan your movers, utilities, and any interim housing without surprises.
If your occupancy date is the same as your closing date and the sale is funded and recorded that day, you can pick up the keys and start moving in right away.
While many buyers move in the same day they close, it's not unusual for the occupancy date to be set for a later time.
Sometimes, a seller may stay in the home after closing, or arrangements may need to be made for the timing of the move.
