How To Successfully Sell Your Home While Buying Your Next One

If you're planning to move, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to sell your current home while purchasing a new one. That can feel like a lot to juggle all at once. But with the right strategy and a trusted real estate advisor by your side, it’s more than possible—it can be seamless.

Understand Today’s Housing Market
First, it's essential to get a clear picture of the market conditions for both selling and buying. If you’re planning to stay local, the good news is you're likely dealing with the same set of market trends on both ends of the deal. That means if it’s a seller’s market, you’ll likely sell quickly and at a strong price. But you’ll also want to be prepared for more competition when buying. An experienced advisor can help you navigate both sides and make a smart plan.

Know Your Home Equity
If you've owned your home for a few years, chances are you’ve built up equity—especially with recent appreciation. That equity can be a powerful tool to help with your next purchase. Whether it’s a down payment, closing costs, or even a cash offer, knowing how much equity you have can guide your financial decisions. Not sure what that number looks like? I can help you figure it out.

Consider Your Options for Buying and Selling
There are several ways to approach the timing of your move:

• Sell first, then buy – This gives you clarity on your budget but might require temporary housing.

• Buy first, then sell – This offers more flexibility in finding your next home but may require financial preparation or a bridge loan.

Every situation is unique. That's why having a personalized plan based on your goals, timeline, and finances is key.
