Really depends on the seller....are they out of town? Is it an estate sale? A bank owned? Etc... I will spare ya the long drawn out details of my house-buying soap opera (I've talked about it in depth on several threads and I'm sure people are tired of hearing it, lol) but basically I've put offers on 3 houses since last summer. The first one I put offer in on Fri, heard back on Mon (the sellers lived in same town and we were using same real estate company). The 2nd offer I put in on a Tues but didn't hear anything back until that Fri (it was an estate sale and the executor of the will/seller was in another town). The 3rd house I put offer in on Fri and heard back on Mon (they live in same town and we were using different real estate companies). Now, lol, you and I are in same boat because I put in an offer on ANOTHER house on Fri Mar 16th and am still waiting to hear if its been accepted (this house is being sold through a relocation company which I'm not familiar with THAT process at allllll lol). So sitting here with ya with fingers crossed 
Best of luck to ya!!!! Maybe we'll close at the same time?!? I'm sooooooo ready to close on a house and stop renting!!! I've been rebuilding credit and stacking savings for the last two years for the sole purpose of buying a home....I'm ready to reap the fruits of my labor!!!

Sorry for the threadjack. I hope this works out for you soon. We stayed away from short sales because our agent told us 6 months was not uncommon. You can find great values if you have the patience. Good luck.
