Can be anything from a near instant to being ghosted for weeks.
Many years ago we put in an offer at asking price and didn't hear anything for a week. When we called the agent to ask how it was going he said "Oh, you were outbid by quite a bit and the vendor is going with the higher bid." If we hadn't called I expect he'd have never got back to us.
Whilst the EA is obligated to pass on your offer to the vendor there's no obligation on anyone's part (vendor or EA) to actually get back to you.
More than likely the vendors are waiting for a while to see if any other offers come in. Might be worth phoning the EA in a few days and asking where the vendors are at with their thinking and what their plans/timescales are.
