Moving to a larger home
If you need more space — additional bedrooms, more square footage, or a different property type — the move usually means selling your current home and buying a larger one. Homsy helps you search larger properties and value the home you're selling.
More space and bedrooms
Search by number of bedrooms, square footage, and property type to find homes with the space you need. Detached and semi-detached houses and larger townhouses generally offer more room than a condo.
Budget for the larger ownership costs
A larger property usually means higher property tax, utilities, and upkeep. Factor the full ongoing cost into your budget, alongside the purchase price and mortgage.
Fund it with your current home
Most upsizing moves are funded partly by the sale of your current home. A professional comparative market analysis (CMA) tells you what that home is worth and what it adds to your budget.
Coordinate the two closings
Selling and buying at the same time takes planning — the order of the closings, and sometimes bridge financing or a sale condition. Work through the sequence with a licensed professional before listing.
