Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. Selling one home and buying another? You've got three main options.
One, sell first. To avoid moving twice, you can ask the buyer for a rent-back, where you stay in the home for a short time after closing. Two, buy first. That usually takes savings or a loan option your lender can walk you through. Three, make your offer contingent on selling your current home. Some sellers will accept that, and some won't.
Here's a free tip. Talk to a lender before you list, not after. They'll tell you which options you actually qualify for.
The right choice depends on your equity, your cash, and how many boxes you're willing to pack twice.
