Should You Sell Before You Buy, or Buy Before You Sell? | Central Ohio Real Estate

Should you sell your home before buying the next one — or buy first and sell after? In this episode, Jamie and Jacoby Maze go head-to-head on one of the most common questions move-up buyers and sellers ask in Central Ohio real estate. Jamie makes the case for selling first: financial clarity, a stronger negotiating position, and no contingency dragging down your offer. Jacoby makes the case for buying first: no rush to find "the one," and no risk of getting stuck in temporary housing if the right home shows up before you've sold. They break down the real financial risks (bridge loans vs. contingencies), how today's market affects the decision, and four strategies most buyers and sellers don't know exist — rent-back agreements, bridge loans, buy-before-you-sell programs, and negotiating a longer closing. There's no universal right answer — only the right answer for your specific situation. This video walks through exactly how to figure out which one that is. Thinking about making a move?
