Selling your current home before buying a new one can feel like walking a tightrope — one misstep can cost you valuable time, money, or even your dream home. But there’s one strategy that can turn this stressful transition into a smart, smooth move: listing your home at a compelling price.

Let’s break down what that means and why it works.

💡 What Is a “Compelling Price”?

A compelling price is not necessarily the lowest price — it’s a strategic number that grabs buyer attention, encourages competition, and drives urgency. The goal is to create immediate interest and hopefully multiple offers, which puts you in a much stronger negotiating position.

Rather than pricing at or slightly above market value and waiting for the right buyer, you price slightly under to generate buzz and activity.

🔥 Why This Strategy Works When Selling Before Buying

If you're planning to buy your next home after selling, timing and leverage are everything. Here’s how this strategy helps:

1. More Showings = More Offers

A compelling price creates a “fear of missing out” in the market. The more people see your home, the higher the chance of getting multiple offers — sometimes even above asking.

2. Stronger Negotiation Power

With multiple offers in hand, you get to choose the best terms: the highest price, flexible closing dates, or even waived contingencies.

3. Control Your Timeline

Once you accept an offer, you can negotiate a 60-day close, giving you time to find and secure your next home. You may also align both closings so the equity from your current home goes directly into the down payment for your next one.

4. No Contingency Needed

Having your home sold (or under contract) removes the need for a home sale contingency in your offer on the next property. That makes you a more attractive buyer and helps you compete in tight markets.
