When you need to sell and buy a home at the same time in Seattle, everything hinges on one question: what does your current home actually sell for?
You already know what you want next, but you can't make a strong offer while your current home is still unsold, and your savings alone rarely cover a second down payment. Most homeowners solve this with a contingent offer, tying the new purchase to selling the old one first. It feels like the safe choice, but in a market like Seattle's, where strong homes draw multiple offers, sellers can afford to pick buyers without conditions attached.
This guide walks through a process that lets you sell and buy at the same time, without a contingency, temporary housing, or carrying two mortgages at once.
