Where are you and where are you growing it? Most commercial avocado trees are grown from budding or grafting a variety onto a root stock. They grow up to 20m high if planted outside in a frost free environment.
The ones you grow from a stone in an avocado from the shops will take years to get to fruiting size and are unlikely to do so as a houseplant. Have a look here for more info - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/Profile?PID=957
