Walsh Ranch · Sell and Buy at Once

Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Walsh Ranch

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 Walsh Ranch: what's different here

Selling one home and buying the next starts with one question: sell first or buy first? With so few homes in Walsh Ranch, moving up usually means looking next door in Behrens Ranch or Sendero Springs as well.

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 Walsh Ranch 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. Walsh Ranch is small, about 250 lots, so a sale here is priced against a handful of recent neighbors and the bigger neighborhoods around it.

How I handle it in Walsh Ranch

  • 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.
