Should you buy before you sell : or sell first? 🤔
If you own a home in Schenectady, the Capital Region, or Springfield, MA, and you're thinking about moving up or downsizing, this is the big question.
Our newest guide breaks down both strategies:
🏡 Buy first: avoid the gap and make a stronger offer : but be ready for carrying costs like two mortgages and double taxes.
🔑 Sell first: know your budget and skip the two-mortgage stress : but plan for temporary housing while you search.
We also cover bridge loans, HELOCs, contingent offers, rent-backs, and a practical decision guide to help you choose the path that fits your finances.
