what do you do first – sell your property or buy a property?

Many of us have a deep-seated fear and are terrified that if we sell the place we’re in, and we’ve go nowhere to go, we will have no where to live.

If you have the resource the buy a new property outright – you’re home and housed, but if you don’t have the available cash, and you buy a place first, the risk is that you have legally committed yourself and you may have to seeking bridging finance so will be paying interest on two properties.

However, there can be a very attractive upside to buying first, before you sell.

When you buy first you know exactly where you’re moving and when. If you decide to buy, you will be ready to jump when the perfect property becomes available.

Just make sure that you don’t get caught out. You don’t want to get into a situation where you might have overestimated the value of your existing property, you are selling at a loss and you get stuck servicing two loans.

Invite an astute local agent to come through, and she or he will give you a changeover analysis and work out the cost of selling your existing property and the purchase costs of the new property. From there you will at least have some information to make an educated decision. It is very important to make an informed position and at the financials and keep the emotions to one side.

If you do decide to purchase first, there are number of things that you can do that make your place easier to sell quickly when the time comes. The future belongs to the prepared so give you adequate time to prepare.

There are many things have to be done for a property to get to market.

If possible,

if you are an investor, have photos of the property done months in advance so the marketing campaign can be prepared. Typically it takes at least two weeks of solid work to prepare a property for sale.
