    Ready to make a move but stuck on one big question: Should I buy first or sell first? You’re not alone—this is one of the most common dilemmas homeowners face. Let’s break it down so you can move forward with confidence.

     

     

    Buying First: Convenience with a Catch

    Buying your next home before selling your current one comes with a big perk—you won’t have to worry about where you’re going next. You can take your time moving, avoid the hassle of temporary housing, and settle in at your own pace.

    But if you’re not buying in cash, there’s a potential downside: carrying two mortgages. That kind of financial pressure can be stressful and might push you to sell your current home faster than you'd like—possibly for less than it's worth.

    Selling First: Financially Safer, But Less Convenient

    On the flip side, selling your home before buying a new one usually makes for a smoother financial transition. You avoid the risk of double mortgage payments, and you’ll likely have more buying power with cash in hand.

    The trade-off? You may need to find temporary housing if your next dream home isn’t lined up yet. And that can sometimes lead to feeling rushed or settling for something that’s just okay.

    So… Which Is Better?

    There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it really depends on your unique situation. Consider these key factors when deciding:

    Market conditions (Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market?)

    Your personal finances (Can you comfortably afford two mortgages temporarily?)

    Your risk tolerance (How much uncertainty can you handle?)

    Also, don’t forget about flexible options like bridge loans or contingency offers. These tools can help you navigate the transition with a little less stress.


    Still not sure what’s best for you? I’d be happy to talk it through and help you weigh your options based on your goals and timeline. Send me a message or give me a call—let’s find the path that makes the most sense for you.
