Deciding whether to sell before buying depends on your finances, market conditions, and preferences. Selling first ensures you know your budget and avoid two mortgages but may require temporary housing. Buying first offers flexibility but comes with financial risk if your old home doesn’t sell quickly. In a buyer’s market, selling first is safer, while in a seller’s market, buying first can prevent delays. An experienced agent can help you choose the best strategy.
After accepting an offer, key steps ensure a smooth closing. The buyer will schedule an inspection and appraisal, which may lead to repair negotiations. Your agent, title company, and attorneys will finalize paperwork and clear the title. As closing day nears, you’ll gather documents, plan your move, and transfer utilities. On closing day, you’ll sign final documents and complete the sale. With proper planning and expert guidance, the process can be seamless.
