Is it too risky to buy right now if you have a home to sell? I have a down payment for the new place but would want to sell my house quickly. We are heading into the holiday season and I’m worried no one will be looking to buy by the time we get our house on the market. Curious for your thoughts

All it takes is 1 buyer.

Real estate is very hyper local. Inventory / attractiveness in your neighborhood will be a big factor, and we don’t know what that looks like.

November and December are historically low for home sales, but there’s still activity happening.

You can put a contingency on sale clause in your contract to buy. And if you are interested in selling and have a good amount of equity you can sell low and quickly. The houses that are sitting on the market for long are those that are priced too high.

There is no inventory. Your house will sell fast

The one thing to consider is that monthly payments are super high right now so you’ll probably have to price the house accordingly

I’m 25 and I have this itch to move to a completely new city. I love my city and just bought a house there but I just have this weird feeling I should be somewhere else. I’ve lived in my city for my whole life except for college (which was only 3 hours away). It seems weird and random to up and leave especially after just buying a house. Would love to hear anyone else’s thoughts/experiences!
