I'm on the hunt for a new home and hoping to avoid juggling multiple mortgages or taking out a bridge loan. Ideally, I want to move smoothly without having to relocate my family to temporary housing. If you've been in a similar situation, how did you handle it? Our realtor expects a quick sale due to the hot market (neighbors sold before listing). We're considering adding a clause to the contract stating that we can't close until we find our next property. Any thoughts on this approach?

Long distance or a local move? What's the market like on the other end of the transaction where you are buying?

I've seen a couple different things - on the buying side I've seen offers with contingencies on selling. On the sell side I've seen sales with lease back provisions.

I'd talk with your realtor about how much if at all these things will impact the quality of your offer or the value you'd get from your house.
