Should I sell before or after moving to my new home?

Selling before you move avoids carrying two mortgage payments and gives you a clear budget for the next home, but it can mean a temporary rental if your sale closes faster than expected. Selling after you move gives you breathing room to find the right next home without pressure, though it usually means qualifying for a second mortgage or using a bridge loan meanwhile. Which order fits depends on your equity, your lender, and how competitive your local market is. Joel Boss can walk through both sequences with you.
