Should You Sell Before You Buy When Downsizing?

December 10th, 2025 9:38 PM by Shane Greene

This is one of the biggest questions empty nesters face.

Selling first offers financial clarity—you know exactly what you can afford. It also avoids the stress of juggling two mortgages.

Buying first gives you flexibility and ensures you don’t rush. Tools like bridge loans or extended occupancy agreements can help.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your market and your goals.
