Selling a house and buying another at the same time can seem like an impossible mission. The fear of being "in the air", homeless or with two installments to pay, is real and common. But with the right planning, you can make this transition with confidence and without a hitch.
If you are selling your house to buy a better, bigger, better located or simply more aligned with your new phase of life, you are in the process of exchanging your home.
This process has specific pitfalls:
Selling and not finding the right house right away
Buy before you sell and get duplicate charges
Uncoordinate the deed dates
Not knowing how to align financing with the timings of the sale
Therefore, it is essential to have a well-defined strategy.
1. Realistic valuation of your current home
A fair price attracts qualified buyers quickly. Avoid overvaluations that delay the sale and compromise your plans.

2. Financial diagnosis
Know exactly how much you will be able to invest in the next house. This includes the expected value of the sale, any savings and financing capacity.

3. Negotiating flexibility
When negotiating the sale of your home, you can try to align the deed date with the purchase of the new one. Or even include a clause that allows you to continue living in the house for a while longer.
π Do you want to know how to negotiate these conditions safely? Talk to Dr. Kasas Real Estate before putting the house up for sale.
4. Simultaneous monitoring of the two processes
With the right help, you can search for the new home while you prepare to sell your own. Coordination between the two movements is the secret to avoiding stress and hasty decisions.
5. Plan B prepared
What if something fails? Having a fallback solution — such as temporary accommodation or financial reserve — gives you peace of mind to act calmly.
