We've been playing with the idea of selling our house and moving. The plan was to get the house perfect, sell and get top dollar, and then walk away with the proceeds and be a contingent-free buyer for the next property. We would rent month-month if we have to, so we aren't rushed into buying and can find what we really want.
But.....
A house came up that checks all the boxes, in an area we like, for a good price. I'd be willing to take less for my house for a quick sale as-is, and get this house. Total opposite plan from above....
Who has bought and sold at same time? It seems like a stress ball and a pain in the ass. I'm sure an offer contingent on my house selling isn't as desirable as some other the buyer would receive. The good thing is, i'd be coming in with 40% down.
Any advise? Pitfalls to watch out for? How successful is it to buy a home contingent upon selling yours? Houses in my area sell quick, and I would price to sell.
