Think You Need to Find Before You Sell? Here’s Why That Might Hold You Back
It’s one of the most common things we hear from homeowners: “I’ll list once I’ve found somewhere I want to buy.”
And on the surface, it makes sense. Why risk selling without a plan?
But in reality, waiting to sell until you’ve found your next home can put you at a disadvantage. Especially in a fast-moving market.
Here’s why it pays to get ahead of the game.
And on the surface, that sounds sensible. Why sell your home before you know where you’re going?

Here’s why it’s worth getting ahead of the curve.
🚀 Selling First Puts You in the Stronger Position
Buyers with a sale already agreed are taken more seriously.
If you’re not ready to proceed, you’re often overlooked for someone who is. Even a higher offer might not win out if you're stuck in limbo.
🔎 Your Ideal Buyer Could Be Looking Right Now
While you're waiting to find something, the perfect buyer for your current home might be actively searching.
If you’re not visible, they’ll move on to whatever’s available and you might miss your moment.
🧰 You Don’t Have to Go Full Steam Ahead
Being market ready doesn’t mean selling tomorrow. It means having your valuation, photos, and paperwork sorted so you’re in control.
It also gives you flexibility to explore quieter marketing while you look for your next place.
