1 - Advance Considerations

Where Are You Headed?

Planning to sell your house? If so, you obviously need to have a plan for moving into your new home (or wherever you might be moving).

Start by researching the housing market in the area you're moving to. That way, you'll have a pretty good idea how much money you'll need to purchase the second home. Then you can more accurately factor in your other moving costs.

Any Contingencies?

Another thing to consider before you put your house on the market is what kind of offers / contracts you'll accept. Are you planning to make the sale of your house contingent upon the successful purchase of your new home? If so, be sure to talk to your agent about it early on. That way, he or she can help you formulate the paperwork to support those plans.
