Move-Up Home Buying Questions You Should Ask
When people have outgrown their present Wake County home and need a larger one, there are many moving parts to selling and buying at the same time and a lot of unknowns which cause great stress for homeowners.
Timing a sale and purchase within a desired budget has many pieces of the puzzle to put together for a smooth and joyful move. In this type of move, the difference between success and disaster is experience, knowledge and executing a well thought out plan.
To begin this plan start by gathering critical information. Here are questions that every move-up buyer needs to ask:.
- How much will my present home sell for?
- What will I realistically net from my sale, which I can use for the new purchase?
- What do I need to do to my home to prepare it to sell for the highest price and what will this cost?
Buy First or Sell First? How to Decide
One way families can reduce the stress and relax a little more in their decision making process is to find the perfect home to buy before they sell their existing home.
To begin exploring if this is a realistic option for you, we must answer two questions.
- Am I in a financial position that would allow me to buy before I sell my present home?
- Must I sell my current home to be relieved of the debt and expense first?
