Sell first
- Know exactly what you have to spend on the next home.
- Stronger offers with no sale contingency.
- Negotiate time to stay after closing while you buy.
Buy first
- Move once, on your schedule.
- Contingent offers or financing that lets you carry both briefly.
- List right after with your home ready to show.
Moving up, downsizing, or just ready for something new
Selling one home and buying another at the same time is two transactions that have to line up perfectly. The plan starts with what your current home is worth today, what you will net after the sale, and what that means for your next purchase.
From there Jon builds the timeline: when to list, when to start touring, how to structure the offer, and how to avoid paying two mortgages or moving twice.
Start with your number
A free market analysis on your current home is step one.
Straight answers.
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your equity, your loan options and the market for your home. Selling first gives you certainty on your money; buying first means you only move once. Jon lays out both paths with real numbers.
Can I make an offer that depends on selling my home?
Yes, an offer can be contingent on the sale of your current home. Sellers weigh it differently, so pricing and timing your sale well makes that offer much stronger.
What if my home sells before I find the next one?
You can negotiate extra time to stay in the home after closing, or line up a short term rental. Jon plans this before you list so there is no scramble.
Start with one conversation.
