How to Sell Your Home While Building A New Custom Home

Buying a home is a big decision and can be complicated depending on the current living situation of those seeking a new home. The hassle of moving from one home to another, and juggling the transfer of a family's life with the paperwork and deadlines of home moving, can be incredibly stressful. Some people enjoy making the process even more complicated by having their new home built for them instead of buying a previously constructed house.

Selling Your Home

It can be a lot of work and stress to purchase, supervise, and move into a custom new home when selling the old house. It can be done, though, and can also prove to be a gratifying experience.

Having a home built complicates the selling process in terms of timing, most obviously. It also adds a few financial complexities thanks to land surveying and construction. Still, the main issues of a selling house are pretty much the same regardless. Being able to sell the home still has to be done, and that issue is usually separate from the building side of matters.

Timing the Sale

The time of a home sale will almost always affect the sale price and ease of the move, and those moving into a home they have to wait for completion to move into can make the timing problematic. How fast homes are selling in an area, current mortgage interest rates, and the number of homes for sale in the region can impact how fast a home is sold and its price.

Using a Realtor

The next question is whether to use a realtor or sell the house as an owner. Though using a realtor means less money from the transaction, it makes selling the home go quicker and smoother. For people building a new home as part of their moving process, the less they need to worry about, the better.

Finances

Selling a home and moving into a custom-built home has many of the same steps and issues as merely moving into a new home. There are a few extra steps, naturally. The most important is making sure the money is there for construction and ensuring a smooth sale and building process.
