Financing the Upgrade

by Jim Peña

Buying and selling at the same time requires a steady plan. You have a few ways to structure the deal.

Three Common Scenarios

  1. The Contingent Offer: You find a house you love and make an offer that depends on your current home selling. This is common but can be less competitive in a fast market.
  2. Sell First, Buy Later: You sell your home and move into a short-term rental. This gives you maximum negotiating power but requires moving twice.
  3. Bridge Options: Using equity or specific loan products to buy the new home before the old one sells. This is the most convenient but requires a strong financial position.

Recommendation

Talk to a local lender early. They understand the Southeast Oklahoma market and can help you choose the option that fits your risk tolerance.
