You own your home and you're ready for the next step, but one question blocks everything: should you sell first, or buy first? There's no single answer, only the one that fits your situation and your local market.
Selling first: financial security
Selling before buying gives you a precise number: you know exactly what you have and you negotiate your next purchase without a sale condition. Less financing stress, a stronger buyer position. The trade-off: you may need to bridge with temporary housing in between.
Buying first: a smoother move
Buying first spares you from moving twice and gives you time to find the right home. But it often means carrying two properties for a while, or adding a sale condition that can weaken your offer in a competitive market. The financing must be solid.
Your city's market changes the equation
In a city where well-listed homes sell fast, selling first is less risky, you won't get stuck. Where the market is quieter, buying first can make sense. That's why the answer is decided city by city, with real data from your area.
Bridging solutions
Between the two, there are tools: bridge loans, negotiated possession dates, well-structured conditional offers. Used well, they cut stress and risk. We explain which ones apply to your file, without the jargon.
