We suggest that you consider this option. Taking something in trade can help you sell quicker and may eliminate your buyer’s major concern about selling their home.

The word “trading” implies that you exchange front door keys and high-fives as your moving trucks pass each other on the road, but that’s not exactly how it works. Trading does involve swapping houses, but even if both houses are valued at the same amount, there are still lenders and lawyers involved and money does change hands. The finances of trading houses are pretty much the same as if you were to buy a house. You have to qualify for a loan, come up with a down payment and have a closing, which involves selling your house and buying the other house as two separate transactions. Existing mortgages are paid off at closing, and you get a new loan for the new house. The difference with trading is that these events happen simultaneously, with both parties’ closing dates scheduled for the same time. This provides assurance that you won’t be stuck with two mortgages.

• Transactions of house trading usually happen much more quickly than during the typical selling process.
• You are likely to receive the appraised value for your house, allowing you to preserve the equity you’ve built.
• Easier to get bank financing.

• If the selling and buying don’t happen all at once, you could wind up stuck with two mortgages.
• If one of the parties owes more on their house than it’s worth, they’ll probably have some difficulty qualifying for a loan.
