Everyone is different.

Sell your house first - you can set a 2-3 month close on your place which will give you 2 months to find something new. Inventory will be high so you should have plenty to choose from. When you find the place, nothing is holding you back and you can go after it.

Find new house first or find it while listing on the market - It can put your mind at ease finding that perfect property and knowing you won't sacrifice a thing on the new place. Unless you are in a position to carry both properties, there is a chance that you find the new home, list your current home and the dream home sells while we are selling your place.


I have someone right now who wants to sell their condo and get into a house. We were all set to list the property and then they wanted to search for their new place and make sure that there would be options when the time came. This is the safest route but leads to disappointment more times than not as it will take longer to sell their place (in a buyers market) and they have a good chance of losing that new home while we sell their condo.
