Financing the Upgrade

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.
