Think big investors are snapping up all the homes? The data says otherwise.

The largest institutional investors are now selling more homes than they're buying – and the gap is growing every quarter.

That means those homes are going back on the market for regular buyers. And since big investors tend to own lower-priced homes, a lot of them are right in the range first-time buyers want.

Less competition. More options for you.

Buying and selling at the same time and not sure where to start?

With houses staying on the market a little longer these days, selling first could be the right move. It keeps you from juggling two mortgages while you wait for your house to sell.

You’ll also know exactly how much equity you’re walking away with (probably more than you think), and you can put it straight toward your next home.

Not sure where you’d stay in between? That part’s manageable with the right plan.

Let’s talk through the pros and cons. We’ll figure out what makes the most sense for you – and how to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.

Big Investors Are Backing Off and That’s Your Opening

Here’s Where To Start if You’re Selling and Buying at the Same Time

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to buying and selling at once. But for a lot of homeowners, leading with the sale makes moving easier on their mind and their wallet.

Let’s connect, so you can navigate selling and buying with more confidence, more financial power, and less stress.

Here’s Where To Start if You’re Selling and Buying at the Same Time If you're a homeowner getting ready to move, one question usually comes first: should you buy your next home before you sell, or sell your current house before you start looking?

Stuck deciding between buying a home now and holding out for the “perfect” mortgage rate?

The truth is, trying to time the market rarely works. Home prices, mortgage rates, and inflation are all outside your control.

And if you wait for all of them to line up just right, you may be waiting a long time.

My advice? If you want or need to move, look at your own numbers instead.

Because whether it's a good time to buy really comes down to your financial situation.

Can you afford the monthly payment?

Do you have enough money left over as a safety net?

What about for repairs?

It’s not a bad time to buy if the math makes sense for you. And that’s true no matter what you’re hearing about the market right now.

Connect with a trusted lender to run the numbers, then let’s chat.

You have a serious edge if you’re selling a luxury house right now.

Sale prices for luxury homes have gone up about three times faster than the rest of the housing market.

That’s because buyer demand is surprisingly strong for high-end homes. So, while most tiers are cooling off, luxury stayed hot this Summer.

And that means you’re in a good position to get the most possible from your sale.

Ready to cash out at the top? Let’s talk strategy.

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.
