How soon would you typically be expecting
I don't 'expect' anything in this process. Too many variables involved to know when a seller/buyer might make a decision.

How soon would you typically be expecting to hear back on an opening offer?
Between Mon - Wed this week.
If you haven't heard by Tues midday then call the estate agent asking what the seller said as your partner wants to start lining up other viewings, but you like this house.

My first place I sat on it for a week as the offer was shit and was miserable about it (but no other offers in about a month).
Our last place I called my wife, discussed and accepted the offer in about 20minutes.
If your offer was in on a Saturday and under asking I'd expect Wednesday is reasonable as they've likely asked the agent to call round all the previous viewers.

So first time buyer dumbass question time: found a lovely house right where we want to be in south Wales, and stuck an offer in on Saturday PM at about 92% of asking. Agent acknowledged offer by email same day and confirmed the seller has been informed. How soon would you typically be expecting to hear back on an opening offer? House has been on the market for a couple weeks and ours is apparently the first offer, and obviously I'm not keen to pester the agent unnecessarily.
(Also probs worth noting I'm autistic so reading the room/social cues is not really my bag, which isn't all that helpful here)
