Moving to a larger or higher-end home, with the timing of both sides worked out from your numbers.
Moving up to a new home in Chillicothe: what you get
If you're moving up to a new home in Chillicothe, we'll start by putting both sides next to each other: what you'll walk away with from your sale, and what the next home will really cost to own.
Sell first, buy first, or line them up. The right answer depends on your equity, your financing and your comfort with risk, and I'll help you decide with real numbers.
