Escrow timeline generator
Your contract expresses every deadline as "17 days" or "3 business days" counted from acceptance. That is precise and almost unreadable. Enter the date your offer was accepted and get every deadline as an actual date, in the order it happens.
This generator needs JavaScript, which is not running right now. The sequence in a typical California escrow: the deposit goes to escrow within a few business days of acceptance, seller disclosures follow, then the investigation and appraisal contingencies, then the loan contingency, a final walkthrough shortly before closing, and recording at the county.
The full guide walks through each stage, or call 619-987-6543. If you are mid-transaction and something is unclear, you are not bothering us.
Your dates
Calculated from the periods you entered. Your purchase agreement governs, public holidays are not accounted for, and nothing here changes a contractual deadline.
Two things worth knowing about these dates
Contingencies do not lapse on their own in California. They are removed in writing. A date passing does not remove one, and it does not automatically put your deposit at risk either - but it does give the seller the ability to serve a notice to perform.
The deposit deadline is counted differently from the rest. It runs in business days while the contingency periods run in calendar days, which is exactly why people miss it. It is also the first thing that happens, often before anyone feels the transaction has really started.
What happens after your offer is accepted covers what actually happens inside each of these windows, and what to do when one is about to be missed.
General information, not legal advice. Your purchase agreement is the authority on every date above.
