After asking questions, I've been told that there's a staffing shortage at the Treasury Division (where the transfer and recordation payment has to be processed before the file gets sent to Land Records for the deed to be recorded) and the backlog on recording deeds is between two weeks and two months, depending on whom you ask.

Depends where you live, but for my California county, Anything above $475k ($474,950 to be exact) is considered "Jumbo VA".

Some people build it for cheap, it all depends on how you manage a project.
