Navigating a Double Move
Deep breaths, everyone!
It's no secret that buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but it doesn't mean it's impossible!
There are a few key questions you need to ask yourself (and your lender!) so you can gain clarity and put a plan in motion!
First, do you really HAVE to sell before you buy? Sure, it may be the most comfortable option, but it's always worth drafting the pro's and con's of possibly carrying two mortgages for a while.
Talk to your lender about this...lender's aren't all facts and numbers. Good lenders try to get creative to find solutions for you!
Don't need to sell before you buy? Great! You'll want to meet with me and begin your home search!
Have to sell before you buy? Don't sweat it! I help clients do this all the time!
Your options are 1) to start house hunting AFTER you close on your home and live somewhere temporarily in the meantime. Lots of clients either find a month-to-month rental or live with family for a bit. Or you could 2) List your home and start house hunting, making any offers contingent on the sale of your home!
Lots of sellers are ok with this if they know you're serious about moving, your house is already listed (and has been prepped for sale!), and/or is already pending!
Navigating a double move can feel like a tricky riddle to solve, but if everyone stays patient and flexible, it can be done.
