6 Reasons To Buy A New House Before You Sell! Team Thayer #realestate #housingmarket #Housingnews #oregon

These six reasons to buy a new house before your current home sells might convince you to rethink the process.

It’s not uncommon for sellers to search for a new home while simultaneously hosting open houses to encourage buyers to make an offer on their current home. But while common, being both a buyer and a seller is difficult enough, and even more so when you’re trying to time a sale with the purchase of a new home. If your current home sells quickly, you might feel rushed into your next home purchase if you want to avoid a move into short-term housing while you continue your search.
While the prospect of paying two mortgages for your current home for sale in Eugene, Or, and a new property across the country may send shivers up your spine, there are some definite advantages to buying a house before selling your current home. Plus, if you take advantage of the protections in place for sellers who are also looking for a new home, there is little risk in purchasing a new home before your current home sale is complete.

Here are some considerations to help determine when to buy a house before selling your current one.

  1. when to buy a house before you sell
  2. You enjoy knowing what’s ahead of you. If you’re the type of person who feels nervous leaping into the unknown, you may find you’re more emotionally equipped to part with your current home when you know you’ve got your next place lined up.
  3. You have time to hold out for what you want. You won’t feel rushed into settling for a home that’s less than perfect just so you have somewhere to live (or because your friends are getting sick of your crashing in their guest room). You’ll be able to wait for the perfect house, whether it’s in the perfect neighborhood, has a perfect layout, or is the perfect price (or all three!).
  4. You could still bring cash to the table. You may qualify for a bridge loan if your credit is good and you have enough equity in your current home. Bridge loans allow transitioning homeowners who haven’t yet sold their current home to access the money they need for a down payment on a new home.
  5. You save on extra moving costs and hassle. If you sell your home before you buy the next one, you may wind up moving twice — first to temporary housing and then to your new home. If you buy first, you’ll need to move only once. If your temporary residence is small, like a studio apartment or a guest room in a friend’s house, you’ll also face storage fees for all your furnishings in limbo.
  6. You have a safety net. Although it’s not as attractive to the sellers you’re buying from, an offer that’s contingent on the sale of your current home allows you to put your next house under contract while still giving yourself extra time to find a buyer for your current home. In theory, that’s the best of both worlds.
  7. Your next home is too good to pass up. You’ve found your dream home, and the seller is extremely motivated. If you love the home so much that you know you’ll regret letting this opportunity pass you by, then it could be worth taking a leap.

5 home selling mistakes with Team Thayer 1. Trying to sell your home yourself In this DIY era, the urge to try to sell your home yourself to save money can beckon like the smell of oven-fresh cookies at an open house. Resist.  Working with a licensed agent  helps ensure you’re not leaving money on the table as a result of an off-target listing price or a mistake in the many steps that lead to a final sale. Sell your sofa yourself online. List your home with a professional. 2. Picking the wrong Realtor Not all agents are equal. Just because your college buddy dabbles in the industry doesn't mean he’s the best guy to sell your home. You want experience. You want to  work with an agent  who has a depth of knowledge. Invite your buddy to the house-warming party.  Find an agent  who can truly perform. Do you research.  Top Home Sales Mistakes 3. Pricing your home too high Sometimes it’s good to aim high. But when you’re setting a price for your home, it’s better to b
