Should I Buy Before I Sell?
Buying before selling can simplify your move logistically, but it introduces financial questions worth working through first.
The situation
The decision to buy before selling is often made based on convenience alone, without fully pricing out what it costs to carry two homes if the sale takes longer than expected, or how much of your current equity you can actually count on before it closes.
Questions people in this situation usually ask
- Can I count on my current home's equity before it sells?
- What does it cost to carry two homes for a few months?
- What financing approaches exist for this specific situation?
