However, you do have some options and this is something that we do for clients fairly often.Your first strategy is making a contingent offer on a home that you want and then selling your home. The only thing wrong with this is that sellers will probably not take a contingent offer. Our market is simply too hot for this strategy right now, but it could work on homes that have gone stale. Your second option is to get your home market-ready and then hopefully get it sold in a week or two. At this point you can go in and make an offer on a home you like, and you don’t have to put in a contingency. You do run the risk of having to find temporary housing, but it will be a better option right now with our current market climate. A lot of people don’t understand that they can go out and make an offer on a home and then begin to sell their own home. This takes some planning, but it’s entirely possible. You can take the time to find the property you want, and it will not be contingent. This may take more time to get your finances in order, but this is probably your best option if you can afford it.If you need help buying or selling in Portland, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
