Educational guidance only; not financial advice, a loan pre-qualification, or a promise of any outcome. The 7% selling-cost figure is a rough planning assumption. A lender is the only one who can confirm what you qualify for.

The two questions that decide it

Can you qualify for the next mortgage while still paying the current one, and can you fund the down payment without your equity? If both answers are yes, buying first is usually on the table. If not, selling first, a contingent offer, bridge financing or a program designed for buy-first moves are the common alternatives.
