Sell your house first before buying another one

In general we need the proceeds from the sale of your house to pay for the new house. Usually the two actions take place similtaniously. There are conditions you can place into an agreement of purchase and sale that make it safe to buy a place while still marketing your home. That being said, it is much easier if your home is already sold prior to purchasing as you can give a much firmer offer and will have more negotiation strength if your house is already sold.

This is probably the best way, but it also depends upon the location of your house: some areas are pretty hot and houses sell right-away; and to find one, it takes some time too. Usually the whole process is done ate the same time: the best is to talk to your Realtor and talk about the strategy. Good luck!

I believe all depends different factors:the house market, the location,the condition of the house, inventory and the season. All has to be balance, because if theres is too much inventory...then price is a factor, if the house is bad condition then take longer to sell...again price, if bad location or winter vs summer..... Always, I take into account these factors and set up a plan for 2 -4 months to list the property with plan A,B, C...and ensure maximum price for the clients.
