I've bought and sold homes in a year or 2 time frame many times even in 2nd or 3rd tier markets. You have closing costs which each your deposit and then for the year your mortgage pays down the costs. Those closing cost fees are the middle men fees entirely. They are there because home buying and selling is a comically antiquated process that can be fixed easily with a technical solution. There's no reason home buying cannot have settlement periods of 5 days.
