Buying a new home, while at the same time you are selling your current home, is all about timing โ€” and a good agent, of course.

Here are a few ways that you can make buying & selling simultaneously work for you and your family. It’s really not as scary as it may seem!

โ€ข ๐‘๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐š๐ง ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ ๐œ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ .
This is a great tactic if youโ€™re confident that your current home will sell quickly. With this scenario, you can request to extend the closing date of your new home past the typical 30-45 days. This should give you enough time to sell your current home and receive your proceeds before making settlement on your new residence.

Also known as a “interim occupancy agreement,” a rent-back allows you (sellers) to stay in the property until a specified date past closing. After settlement, the occupant (tenant) would pay rent to the current owner (acting as a landlord for 30-60 days). This would allow for extra time to find a new home โ€” with no contingencies โ€” while having the cash for the downpayment … all while not having to move twice into short-term housing!

A HELOC allows you to borrow against the equity in your current home. You can use this money as your down payment on the new home, and pay it off once your current home sells.

In this scenario, you would focus on finding a new home before you list your current home. Once you find a home you love, you would submit an offer with a “home sale + settlement contingency” โ€” which means you will only buy the home if you can successfully sell your existing.
