THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MOVE
Your lender, Carrie, and your title team can help evaluate the practical details. These are planning scenarios, not promises that a structure or financing option will be available.
The appeal: Know your actual sale proceeds before committing to your next purchase.
Plan for: Temporary housing, storage, and possibly two moves. Your next home may take time to find.
Ask: Where would we comfortably stay between homes?
The appeal: Settle into the next home before handing over the current one.
Plan for: Qualifying for the purchase, available cash, and overlapping costs if the sale takes longer than expected.
Ask: What could we carry if the sale is delayed?
The appeal: Aim for a closely timed sale and purchase.
Plan for: Contract terms, funding dependencies, and a backup if either transaction is delayed. Contingencies or temporary occupancy require agreement.
Ask: What is our fallback if the dates shift?
A CALMER MOVE STARTS WITH A BACKUP
The goal is a move that works
for your everyday life.
There may be tradeoffs between convenience, cost, and certainty. Putting those on the table early helps you make a deliberate choice.
