How to navigate buying and selling a home at the same time

Timing the sale of your current home with the purchase of a new one can be challenging. Understanding local market conditions is crucial, as buying in a seller's or buyer's market affects pricing and timing. Deciding whether to buy or sell first depends on financial and logistical factors, with options like renting out your old home or using contingencies. Working with an experienced real estate agent familiar with simultaneous transactions can help navigate timing, strategy, and negotiations effectively.
