It is a Great Time to Buy a home as interest rates are at historical lows, foreclosures are at record levels and many are nice and in move in condition.  Even builders are trying to get rid of inventory as well as motivated sellers who are in a must sell situation. But, you have a home to sell and you know that it is not a good time to sell to get your max equity out of your home.  You do have options!  The best scenario when relocating is to be able to sell your current home for what you want and get a great deal on your next home at a interest rate that is at historical lows, but that is not likely to happen.  The next best scenerio is to rent out your current home and get a great deal on your next home, where you want to live at the price you can afford, and when the market rebounds then sell your now rental home and have the best of both worlds as far as being able to live in the home you want in the location  you want and get the money or value from both the properties.  The next best scenario is if you have equity in your current home, sell below market value and make it up when you buy your next home because of the great price and interest rate.  That way your basically in the same condition you are in now but you are in the home you want in the location you want.  The other scenario is to wait for the market to rebound and you may get what you want for your  current home but you may also pay a higher price on the next and have a higher interest rate, possibly keeping you from getting the home you ultimatly want in the location you want.  I hope this all makes sence and I know there are job factors to consider as well but if that is not an issue then I would consider the first couple of scenarios.  If you are in a postion that you want to sell your current home below market price or rent it out I can either refer a Real Estate agent in your area to you and negotiate the selling commission for you which will save you money or if you are in the Charlotte, NC and surrounding counties area then I can list your home at a negotiated commission to help you sell your home, so that you are able to move into the home of your dreams!  I know this is a lot to ponder but with historical low interest rates, low prices, now is a great time to buy as you can get a better home in a better location during these times.
