Should I Buy or Sell First?
Do you buy your next home before selling? Or do you sell your current home before buying?
It really depends on you.
If you buy first, your home hunting will be less rushed and you can spend more time making sure your new house fits as many of your needs as possible. When you make an offer, you can make it conditional on the sale of your current home or you can discuss the possibility of bridge-financing with your lending institution in case your new home closes before your current home sells and you need to pay for two homes at the same time.
If you sell first, you may be in a position where you may need to find a temporary place to live if you are unable to find a home you will be happy with before your current home's closing date. Some people reach out to family or friends who may have some extra room for a few months and some people look for a short-term rental property.
Your Agent can give you information about the current real estate market conditions and how that affects buyers and sellers but it is ultimately up to you to decide which variables you are able to live with and which options make sense for your financial situation.
I am grateful for the many fabulous people I have had the pleasure of helping and hope that you will be next!
