Here's what makes upsizing different from what most people expect.
Most families sitting on real equity assume the hard part is finding the next house. So they start there. Weekends of open houses, saved listings, driving neighborhoods on Sunday.
What I actually see is that the next house is rarely the problem. The timing between selling and buying is. That's where people get stuck, and that's where the money is either protected or lost.
The reason is simple. In North County right now, well priced homes that show well are moving fast, and everything else is sitting.
So if your current home isn't positioned correctly, the whole plan slows down and your leverage on the buy side goes with it.
So if upsizing is on your mind for the next 12 months, the first thing I'd have you do is get real numbers on what your current home is worth and what your buying power actually looks like.
Before you tour a single property.
That's the part nobody tells you.
