I want to move to a new home, but I don't know where to begin. What's my first step?
I want to move to a new home, but I don't know where to begin. What's my first step? You've made a good start by reviewing the information on our website.

I currently own a home. Should I sell before I buy, or buy my next home before I sell my current home?
The answer depends on your personal financial ability, your tolerance for risk and how unique your requirements are for your next home.

If the home you seek is very specific or unique in nature, and you have the financial ability to buy without selling, your goals will be best achieved by acquiring your new home before your sell your existing residence. Interim financing is frequently available to help with your purchase.

If you are uncomfortable with the financial obligations of owning two homes for a short period of time, then you may be better advised to sell your current home first. This may be the best option for you if there is a good selection of the type of homes you are looking for on the market at the time you are selling.

Either way you decide, your Weir Manuel professional will help coordinate your purchase and sale to make your move a smooth one. TOP
