Share This Post:

One of the biggest concerns upsizers face is timing – specifically, how to sell their current home while securing the next one without feeling rushed or exposed.


Buy First or Sell First?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Each approach has pros and cons depending on:

  • Market conditions
  • Financial flexibility
  • Risk tolerance

Understanding readiness, as outlined in when the right time to upsize your home in Ontario, often helps clarify the best path.
