Our settlement date for a contract on new construction signed in mid-January was 5 weeks out and they just changed it to 6 weeks. You have almost zero choice in what the closing date is for new construction as the villages title company, Peninsula, chooses it for you. On a resale, you may have more ability to influence the date, but I know from the sale of another property up north this week that both title searches and appraisals are taking longer then in the past due to volume.
