# 4519 Make Yourself at Home
Question
Re question above. When exactly does one recite the blessing; when signing the contract or when actually taking possession of the property, as when moving in?
Answer
Birchas Habbais (24: 33) and others rule that the best time to recite the brocho is when placing the Mezuzos.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one can recite the brocho when legally the property is transferred to his name.
