The only response can be: As long as the court allows.

It depends upon the complexity of the estate. It might take 6 months. It might take years.

The 3 that wish to sell should petition the court to order the executor to sell the house.

Until the executor sells the house or transfers it to the beneficiaries, the estate is.

Is the house vacant? Tenant occupied?

Any resident would normally pay their own utilities, except for any that a prior rental agreement makes the building owner responsible for.
