Stone Canyon · Sell and Buy at Once
Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Stone Canyon
Selling one home and buying the next, with the order, the money and the move worked out before you commit to either.
Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Stone Canyon: what's different here
Selling one home and buying the next starts with one question: sell first or buy first? Moving up from Stone Canyon while keeping the same Round Rock ISD path usually means timing a sale and a purchase together, and I plan both at once.
The answer depends on how much of your next down payment is in your current home and what carrying two homes for a while would cost.
Why Stone Canyon buyers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. When I run both sides of a move, the dates line up because one person is planning them. A Stone Canyon listing has to explain the Fern Bluff MUD: what it adds to the tax bill, and the six parks, the trails and the HOA's pool that come with it.
How I handle it in Stone Canyon
- Sell first to free up equity, with a possible short stay after closing negotiated with the buyer.
- Buy first to move once, with a bridge loan or line of credit your lender can price.
- A sale contingency, written well, when the market allows it.
- One plan for both homes. How I sell and how I help you buy.
