Parker: Homeowners can tap the
equity in their home and use the
money from a home-equity loan to
fund the down payment and clos-
ing costs of another home. In addi-

down payment loan options that
can minimize upfront costs. For

For that reason, we see a lot of home-
owners sell their home with a rent-back
option. This allows the seller to live
in the home a little longer while they
search and settle on a new property.

Lindner: You want to consider put-
ting your house up for sale first when
you are in a buyer’s market, where
there’s plenty and sometimes excess
inventory for sale in the marketplace.
During a buyer’s market, it may take
an exorbitant amount of time to sell
your home, so you should start that
process first. Once you’ve entered
into a contract to sell your home, you
should easily find a new home to pur-
chase given the available inventory.
The disadvantage of selling first in a
buyer’s market is that the buyer can
more easily leverage around their
own terms, given the ability to read-
ily find another home.

McCullough: When a bridge loan
is too expensive or they have insuf-
ficient equity to qualify for this type
of loan, they should consider selling
first. Disadvantages for this mean
that you likely have more contin-
gencies when offering on your next
home. A couple of options that make
this more workable are to require a
rent-back in the sale of your home
or include a “house of choice” clause
in the sale of the current home. The
house of choice clause allows the
seller a determined time to find a new
home and get under contract; other-
wise, the seller can void the contract
and keep their current home.

When should someone consider
buying their next home before selling?
What are the pros/cons of that choice?

Parker: There’s a lot of competition
in this seller’s market, and buyers of-
ten feel the pressure to buy as soon as
possible. Ratifying a purchase con-
tract in today’s environment is a win.
The challenge with buying a new
home before selling is the ambiguity
that comes along with coordinating
settlements and a limited supply of
homes on the market. Sellers also lose
some negotiating leverage if they’ve
already purchased a new home.

Lindner: You want to consider buy-
ing your home first when you are in
a seller’s market, where there’s little
