Buying Before You Sell: What to Know First
Buying first can give you more freedom to find the right home. It can also mean carrying two homes. Here is how to think it through.
- Free consultation
- No obligation
- 20+ moves of firsthand experience
The tradeoff
Buying first lets you shop without a sale deadline and move once. The cost is potentially overlapping payments and the risk that your current home takes longer to sell than planned.
Questions to ask
Can I afford both homes for a while?
Look at your savings, income and the lender's view of your debt. A lender can show your real numbers.
What if my home doesn't sell quickly?
Plan for that before you buy. We'll help you price strategically and discuss backup plans.
Are there other ways to handle timing?
Yes, such as a home-sale contingency or a flexible closing date. Availability varies, so ask us and your lender.
