Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Central Oregon

Get a clear plan for pricing, timing, and coordinating both transactions with confidence.

Selling your current home while buying your next one can feel overwhelming. There are multiple moving parts — pricing, timing, financing, and making sure you’re not left in between homes.

The key is having a clear plan before you start.

Step One: Know What Your Home Can Realistically Sell For

Before you shop seriously, it helps to understand what your home would sell for in today’s Redmond and Central Oregon market — not just what an online estimate suggests.

When we evaluate value, we don’t just pull numbers from your subdivision. We look at recent sales on your street, nearby neighborhoods, similar homes in Redmond, and what’s actively competing in Bend, Sisters, Terrebonne, or La Pine when buyers are cross-shopping those areas.

Because we understand how buyers move between communities here, we price based on how your home will actually be compared — not just what a formula says.

That gives you a realistic range and helps you make decisions with confidence.

Step Two: Map Out the Timing

Once you know your numbers, we map out timing based on what’s happening right now in Redmond and surrounding communities.

• How long are similar homes actually taking to sell?
• Is inventory tight in your price range?
• What options do you have if you find the right home in Bend or Sisters before yours closes?

When those questions are answered early, the process feels manageable instead of stressful.

Why This Takes Local Experience

Handling two transactions at once isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about understanding how our local market behaves.

Redmond doesn’t move the same way Bend does. Terrebonne and La Pine attract different buyers than central Redmond neighborhoods. Even within Central Oregon, pricing sensitivity and buyer demand shift from community to community.

Knowing those differences matters when you’re coordinating both a sale and a purchase.

Clear communication and steady guidance make a measurable difference when timelines shift or negotiations tighten.

Common Buying & Selling Questions

Can I buy a home before my current one sells in Central Oregon?

Yes, it is possible, but it depends on financing structure and risk tolerance. Understanding your home’s realistic value and timing options is the first step before making an offer.

Can I make an offer contingent on selling my home in Redmond?

In many cases, yes — though it depends on how competitive the local market is. In tighter inventory conditions, sellers may be less flexible with contingencies.

How do closing dates work when selling and buying at the same time?

Closings can often be coordinated so both transactions happen on the same day or within a short window. Planning timelines early reduces the need for temporary housing and keeps the process organized.

What happens if my home doesn’t sell before I find a new one?

If your home doesn’t sell before you secure another property, pricing and preparation become critical. A realistic listing strategy in Redmond or Central Oregon significantly reduces the chance of being caught between transactions.
