We definitely needed to sell our place to secure the move to the new place. We did negotiate 90 day possession and had the bridge financing situation taken care of which we thought would give us enough time.
There was no interest from either myself or my wife to have to deal with showings and being in and out of the house for more than 2-3 weeks so we had a plan of reducing the list price fairly quickly if a deal didn’t get done ASAP. I feel extremely fortunate to have things go the way they did and we ended up getting more than we thought we would but still took it on the chin compared to the purchase in 2014. The new house is the forever home so if all goes as planned we live in this house for the life of the mortgage and beyond.
