Selling before buying provides greater financial stability. You’ll have a clear picture of the proceeds from the sale of your home to plan your budget for your new home. There will be no worries about juggling two mortgages, but the option may involve finding temporary accommodations and storage. And there’s a risk of a time gap between selling and finding a new home in a competitive market.

Striking the right balance between securing a new property and ensuring a smooth sale of the current one can be a challenging task. Buying first offers the advantage of locking in a desired property, preventing the risk of missing out in a competitive market. However, this route can lead to financial strain if the old property doesn’t sell promptly. On the other hand, selling first guarantees a clear financial picture but might leave one scrambling to find a new home amidst limited options. Navigating this conundrum requires careful consideration of the market conditions, personal financial stability, and a willingness to explore creative solutions to achieve a successful outcome in either direction.
