While it might seem daunting, it is possible to buy and sell at the same time. Here are some strategies to make it come together.

If you can afford to, buying a new home before you sell your old one is often the easiest strategy, but this often requires significant cash on hand.

If you sell first, you may be able to rent it back from the new owner for 30 to 60 days while you buy and close on a new house.

If you buy with a contingency to sell, you can pull out of your new contract if your old home fails to sell in a certain period of time.
