Not necessarily. The right sequence depends on your financing, available funds, preferred timing, tolerance for carrying two properties and current market conditions. Some clients sell first, while others purchase before selling or make an offer contingent upon the sale of their California home. Planning early helps determine which approach is realistic for you.

A purchase offer may include a contingency related to the sale or closing of another property, but its structure and acceptability will depend on the circumstances and the Nevada seller’s willingness to accept it. Your lender and real estate professionals should coordinate the financing, contingency dates and closing timeline before an offer is written.

Carson Valley includes conventional neighborhoods, rural homes, acreage and properties with features that may be unfamiliar to some California buyers. Depending on the property, important considerations can include wells, septic systems, water rights, private-road maintenance, access, zoning, animal allowances, wildfire exposure and homeowners insurance.

Beginning several months before your anticipated move provides more time to prepare the California property, understand your financing options, compare Carson Valley communities and organize the two transactions.
