Fifty days seems like a lot and moving into a rental, as many suggested, would alleviate you from having to get under contract on a new house. A 24 hour response timeline is also pretty normal. Counter minus the closing costs and you'll see where this buyer stands. The first offer is rarely the final offer, unless you're in a bidding war.
We're talking VA loans though (for him and me). Timeline is roughly 45 days minimum for that process I've been told a few times. I figured 60 days: 2 weeks to look, get down to Charlotte, put in an offer and then kick off that process was reasonable. Renting really is the reasonable option for sure ... but I've moved 10 times in the last 10 years (seriously), I'm ready to be done with that noise.
