As we conclude the first quarter of 2022, the real estate market on the Central Coast is not showing signs of a slow down. Homes are selling quickly and at or over list price. Many sellers want to take advantage of this market but are concerned where will they go after their home is sold. In this real estate market after the 2020 pandemic shut down, homeowners are taking advantage of creative solutions to this question:
Buy First Then Sell
You will need to qualify to buy without selling your current home first and if you hold considerable equity in your current home, this may be the answer.
Rent or Lease Back from Buyer
Set the selling terms of the need for a rent back for a set period of time - 60, 90, 120 or more days. This will give you the time needed to buy your next home without any sale contingencies.
Rent a VRBO
Sell your home, place personal items in storage and live in a AirBnB or VRBO for a couple of months while deciding where your next home will be. This is a great idea if moving out of the area and wanting to get to know new communities/cities/states.
Try RVing
Go travel the country and enjoy the freedom of new adventures. Place items in storage, get a PO Box and rent a luxury RV. Stay local or explore new places to call home.
There are other options such as a simultaneous closing on the home you are selling and the one you are buying. There needs to be a conversation with your Realtor® if this is a possibility for you. The Good News is there are options out there!
