Can I buy and sell a home at the same time?

Yes, you can buy and sell at the same time, but it requires careful coordination. Common strategies include making your purchase offer contingent on selling your current home, using proceeds from your sale as the down payment on the new home, arranging bridge financing, or negotiating a rent back agreement after selling so you have time to close on the new property. Timing is the biggest challenge since closings rarely align perfectly. In a competitive market, purchase contingencies can weaken your offer. Each approach has tradeoffs in cost, risk, and flexibility. Jon can help you structure the sequence and negotiate terms that work for your situation.
