Should I sell my home before buying a new one?

No one-size answer. Selling first gives you cash in hand and a clean, non-contingent offer — but you may need temporary housing. Buying first means one move, but two mortgages or an offer contingent on selling. Some sellers negotiate a rent-back to bridge the gap. The right strategy is a math problem plus a timing problem.
