The core problem
Most people need the equity from their current home to buy the next one, and most lenders count your current mortgage against your ability to qualify. Buying first means solving for both.
Common ways to buy first
A home-sale contingency makes your purchase depend on selling your home — but many sellers won't accept it in a competitive market. Bridge loans or HELOCs let you borrow against current equity. Some buyers qualify to carry both payments temporarily. And some programs guarantee or purchase your current home so you can make a stronger offer.
Each option has costs and qualification rules. Talk to a lender early.
An option to look at
Shaune Corbett Group can help you compare buying first with selling first, including the "Buy This Home, I'll Buy Yours Cash." option, against your timing and financing risks. Eligibility requirements, terms, conditions and limitations apply to every guarantee. Full terms are provided in writing before you sign anything.
Talk it through
Before you choose a price, a repair budget, or an offer, let's compare your selling options.
A call with Shaune is a practical conversation about your home:
- Where your price is likely to land, based on recent nearby sales
- Which preparation is worth considering — and what to skip
- How different offers and selling options trade off
- How your sale timing fits your next move
