Buying your next home while selling your current one can feel like trying to solve a puzzle where every piece needs to fall into place at exactly the right time.

You need the equity from your current home for the down payment on the next one. But you may not want to sell before finding somewhere new to live. At the same time, buying first can mean carrying two properties if your current home takes longer than expected to sell.

Should you sell my current home before buying a new one? There are many factors to consider when buying and selling simultaneously. While there are risks and challenges involved, as with many processes, your greatest success rate often comes down to being prepared.

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is an exciting first step toward homeownership. It gives you a solid budget to work with and helps you shop confidently when looking for a home. But many buyers don’t realize that pre-approval isn’t final approval. Your lender will still review your finances before approving your mortgage funds.
