DIRECT ANSWER
Source-qualified general guidance or institutional resources only. University aid allowances are not actual housing prices; private contract terms, present availability, property suitability and individual mortgage approval remain unverified. Guidance admission is not125-question canonical completion.
Work backward from your student's actual University of Alabama move-in need. Before committing to a purchase, establish a budget, ask a lender about the proposed occupancy and financing, and allow time for the specific property's inspection, appraisal, closing and any necessary work. Ask the lender and closing parties for a transaction-specific schedule and keep temporary accommodation available if the dates slip. UA's published returner-housing page currently discusses the 2027–28 recontracting process and directs students to their Crimson email; it does not set a universal parent homebuying deadline. Do not treat a university application date as a purchase-closing commitment.
