Yes, buying a new home in New Brunswick while selling your current one is not only possible but quite common, especially in today's balanced market (73 days on market as of late 2025). I've coordinated dozens of these "simultaneous" deals seamlessly for families, ensuring minimal stress and maximum timing control.
The key is strategic planning and the right contingencies. Here's how it works in New Jersey:
-
Home Sale Contingency: Include this in your offer on the new home—it makes the purchase dependent on successfully selling your existing property. If your home doesn't sell within a set timeframe (typically 30-60 days), you can back out without losing your deposit. Sellers often accept this in balanced conditions like New Brunswick's current environment.
-
Sell First Approach: List and sell your current home before buying. Once under contract, use proceeds for the down payment. If needed, a short-term bridge loan (6-12 months, rates ~8-10%) covers the gap—our lender partners specialize in these.
-
Timing Coordination: Align closings (e.g., same-day or rent-back from your buyer). NJ's mandatory 3-day attorney review period adds built-in flexibility to negotiate terms.
