How Can You Buy and Sell Simultaneously in Bucks & Montgomery County

A lot of home sellers also need to buy a home. This creates a common problem where people need to buy and sell simultaneously. This can be a logistical nightmare if proper planning and organization are not involved. 

1. Selling first and then buying: You can sell your home and get equity to help you buy another, but then you have to hurry to find another home if you want to avoid having to use interim housing.


2. Buying a home and then selling: This is a good option if you can afford it. Rushing into a home purchase is risky, and we don't recommend it. Paying a double mortgage is difficult even for people who can afford it, but this strategy also allows you to focus energy on selling your home for top dollar.


3. Buying and selling at the same time: This is where my experience comes in. We can use contingency clauses to ensure that as soon as you sell, you have a home to move into. This strategy takes a lot of communication and planning, but it's entirely possible and we've done it many times before.

If you need any assistance when you're buying, selling, or doing both at the same time, please don't hesitate to contact me.

People often ask me when the best time to sell a home is, and I think it's always a good time to sell. We see more activity in the market during the summer, so your home will have an increased chance to sell quicker and for more money. 

The benefit of selling during the summer would be the lower amount of inventory around here. With less competition and more demand, you would have a good chance to sell well. Even when there are fewer buyers in the market, they do tend to be more serious. These buyers usually have children that need to be in school by the fall, so they're not going to play around very much. 

When selling in the summer months, I would make sure that the price and condition of your home is your biggest concern. The price needs to be comparable to other homes in the area, and it's very important not to overprice a home. As far as condition goes, I would recommend getting a home inspection done so that you can make repairs before your buyers come in and view the home. 

On a side note, it's very important to keep your home cool in the summer. You don't want your buyers thinking that the AC system doesn't work, because on a hot day, this could be a deal breaker. 

If you're thinking of selling this summer, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to come out to your home and discuss what can be done to sell it for top dollar!
