How to Buy Your Next Arizona Home Before Selling

Dave Zajdzinski and the team bring 40 + years of real estate experience to home buyers and sellers throughout Arizona.

If you’re trying to buy a home while still owning your current one, you’ve probably realized how complicated the timing can be. Your money is tied up in your existing home, sellers don’t love contingent offers, and selling first can mean moving into an apartment while you wait.

This is a common problem that often leaves buyers feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.

The two choices most buyers feel stuck between. When buyers want to move, they usually feel forced into one of two choices.

• Writing a contingent offer. That’s when your offer depends on selling your current home first. The problem is, most sellers don’t want to work with a contingent buyer, and that can cause you to lose the home you really want.
• Selling first and moving into an apartment. That means selling your home before buying your next one and moving your family and pets into a temporary place. I don’t think that’s fun, and honestly, I think it’s a crazy thing to do. Moving twice adds stress and uncertainty during a time when people are already going through a big transition.

Get your equity early and move into your next home. There is another way to handle this. Instead of waiting for your home to sell, we can unlock the equity you were planning to put down and give that to you now. This allows you to move directly into your next home and make a strong, aggressive offer because you’re not contingent.

Not being contingent also means you’re flexible with your timeline. You’re not rushed, and you’re not compromised when making decisions about your purchase.

Selling after you’ve moved. Once you’ve moved into your new home, we can focus on selling your current property. That may include light fix-up work, light repairs, and staging furniture in the home. The goal is to actually increase the value before putting it up for sale.

After the sale, you receive the remainder of the equity that you weren’t going to put toward the down payment on your next property.

Why does this program work so well? We’ve done this for hundreds of sellers, and in my experience, it’s by far the best way to move. It reduces stress and headaches.

The data we have shows about a 6% savings when you buy this way because you’re not on a tight timeline. You’re not contingent, and you’re not compromised. That allows you to make stronger offers when buying and expect better offers when you go to sell.

Let’s find out if this is right for you. If this is something you’re interested in, the next step is to book a time to meet. We can do it over Zoom and see if your home qualifies and how much equity we think we can unlock. You can also reach out to me at 480-933-1235 or email dave@zteamaz.com.
