No one set answer for this. Many variables determine how long this takes. Material used, climate the house is in, other aggravating factors... some decompose in a couple of years, while there are historical cabins in Antarctica which are virtually unchanged from their condition in the early 1900s.

It depends what it is. Warm wet organic material will decompose in a few weeks. Cans and bottles and plastics will never decompose.
