Buying a new home while selling your current one has always been one of the most challenging moves in real estate. Traditionally, homeowners are forced to choose: sell first and risk not finding a new place in time, or buy first and carry the financial burden of two homes. But thanks to modern real estate technology, this dilemma no longer has to be a gamble.
Shifting Attitudes Towards Financing
Today’s buyers are more willing than ever to explore alternative financing strategies. In fact, according to HomeLight’s 2025 Lender Insights & Predictions, 71% of loan officers report a surge in buyers willing to take bigger risks — whether it’s buying fixer-uppers, accepting higher mortgage rates, or pursuing creative financing options to win the deal.
Real Estate as a Sound Investment
Real estate continues to be viewed as a solid investment option. According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2024 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 74% of buyers finance their home purchases, demonstrating a strong belief in real estate’s value. Additionally, 79% of buyers consider homeownership a wise financial investment, with 39% even ranking it as a better choice than the stock market. This growing confidence in real estate highlights its role as a key component of financial security for many individuals.
