Solving the Seller’s Dilemma — Selling and Buying Simultaneously
If you’re considering parting ways with your home and searching for a new one, prepare for The Seller’s Dilemma. How do you find a new home when inventory is low while concurrently selling your current home? How do you beat multiple offers on your dream home while also ensuring you can sell your existing home? Maybe you are concerned about possibly “overpaying” for a new place; But, the truth is, any premium you may pay on purchasing a new home, is cancelled out by the premium you receive on the sale of your other one. It turns out that this isn’t a dilemma at all, but an opportunity. The advantage of concurrently buying and selling is unlocking the equity you’ve built, even if you purchased in the past few years. And with mortgage rates still historically low, you likely have more buying power than you realize.
