Real Estate FAQ’s Q: We’ve heard it’s a “hot market” and are considering moving. Should we be buying first, or selling first? A: This is a very common question, and a good conversation to have with your REALTOR® because the answer depends on a few factors: What price range are you looking to go into, and how readily available do homes in this range become available? What are your personal motivations? What is your tolerance to risk, and financially can you put yourself in the situation of possibly owning two homes for a period of time?
Buying first The pros of buying first, are that you don’t necessarily have the pressure of time like you would if your home was sold, and you have a closing date looming. You’re more likely to find exactly what you want, instead of settling for something due to time restraints. If you do lose out in an offer situation, chances are you’ll be less emotional because you still have a place to live. You’ll want to discuss beforehand with your financial institution if this is even an option for you and if you qualify for bridge financing, which will help cover the costs until your home sells.
Change has come for the homegrown charity Hime for Help that has spent the past seven years helping children in Haiti. Charity founder Emily Hime said it has rebranded as RISE House and will expand its focus to help more than just children in the impoverished Caribbean nation. “I became morally conflicted a few years ago after noticing the orphanage crisis in Haiti. I had realized we were putting a Band-Aid on a much bigger issue – poverty,” she said. “I was seeing families being torn apart. Parents were giving up their children to these orphanages or abandoning them at orphanage doors – not because they don’t love their child, but because they believed that an orphanage would provide their child with a better life.” To that end, RISE House will seek to have a bigger impact than Hime for Help, which focused on Maison Ke Kontan children’s home. Hime said the plan now is to not only help children, but to empower entire families. In fact, “RISE” stands for Responsible Inspiration to Succeed and Empower. “We want to provide them the resources they need to care and provide for their children. There
are so many talented, dedicated and hard-working people in Haiti that simply just do not have the resources or opportunities to rise above,” she said. “We want to change this. We want to give people the tools they need to succeed by offering training, education, microloans for business start-up costs, teaching about sustainability and agriculture, and providing them a safe place to learn and grow.” Such growth, Hime said, will help empower people. “We know we cannot change Haiti as a whole, but if we can work towards changing one life at a time, that is good enough,” she said. “It’s about giving one family an opportunity to rise above their current circumstances and be able to provide for their children.” The training programs are geared towards entrepreneurship, and will be geared to accommodate those who are illiterate (nearly four in 10 people in Haiti are unable to read or write). Classes will also be offered in health and nutrition, maternal health and childbirth, as well as sustainability and agriculture. Hime said it was time for her charity to evolve. “First of all, I think the organization has grown. I went down to Haiti when I was 19. I have grown as
well,” she said. “The organization has become much bigger than myself – it’s time to remove my name from it and to create a more generic and inclusive organization.” To that end, Maison Ke Kontan will transition to a safe haven for women and children. Hime said the children currently under care at the home will remain with the charity organization. “But our ultimate goal is to work with some of the children’s extended family and put them through our programming to empower them as well,” she said. Where possible, they will work towards family reunification, but for orphans with no known family members, Hime said they will remain in the care of RISE House. For seven years, Hime has been helping children in Haiti. She offers a friendly warning to people who help her and want to aid first-hand in Haiti. “Before anyone comes to Haiti, I give them this warning: Your life will be forever wrecked. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but something happens to you when your plane touches down. Your life, your mission, your thought process all change when you give what’s in your hand to someone who can never pay you back,” Hime said.
Call your LOCAL REALTOR® today! Sponsored by The cons are that once you find and secure another home, you might have problems matching up closing dates. This could mean two things: You are financially carrying the burden of two homes for a period of time, or you may be homeless temporarily if your selling closing date is before the closing of your new home. You can make your offer to buy conditional on the sale of your current home, but the downside to that is that it’s less desirable to the seller and in a “hot market” might not be competitive enough in a multiple offer situation.
Selling first The pros of selling first, are that you know exactly what the proceeds from the sale and the closing date are for your home. For those that financially can’t carry the burden of two homes, this may be the only option. The cons are that you will be on a time crunch to find something by or near your closing date. This might mean you settle for a home that doesn’t meet everything on your wish list in order to have somewhere to go. It also means that if you don’t find something you like right away, you might end up between homes for a time.
Have a back up plan Your best option is to have a back-up plan. Do you have family that you can temporarily live with and put your belongings in storage until you find a home? If you’re in the midst of a mortgage term, talk to your lender and see what kind of fees there may be if you break your term early and don’t go directly into another mortgage until you find a home. This may or may not be a deciding factor on whether this is an option for you. Whichever way works best for you, pre-planning with your REALTOR® is the best way to navigate this process.
