Where Will I Live

You are probably wondering where you will live if you sell first, buy last. This can be an unsettling thought. Perhaps you can arrange to delay the closing or possession date on the home you are selling until the fall or winter, which will give you time to shop during the best buying months.

Maybe you have friends or relatives who will put you up for a while or know someone who needs a house sitter. Maybe there is an apartment you can rent on a short-term basis. This might seem like a lot of bother an extra expense, however the money you save selling your New Jersey home first then buying your next place should more than repay you for it.
