Summary answer: Plan for roughly 6-10 weeks from a confirmed contract to closing in Tysons, plus house-hunting time upfront. Given the market's genuine pace variance (34-130 days depending on segment), build in extra buffer, and add time for VA or FHA condo project approval verification if using those loan types.
