Wow, just reading this thread makes my head ache. Over here, if things aren't completed within a couple of days, there's something seriously wrong. We made our offer on our current house and had it accepted on the spot by the owners. Papers were signed and filed, then the legal work was done at closing in the space of a half hour or so.
We're currently looking for a second house for my wife's parents in our neighborhood, just a stone's throw from Lake Ontario. Unfortunately prices have increased significantly in the 5 years since we bought. Some people aren't even going through the motions of fixing their places up a bit first before selling. They know they will get their price or more anyway.
