We are currently looking to upsize our home. Current home is mortgage free but we will likely need to take out a mortgage on the new home. Has anyone been in a similar situation? We have a particular area in mind so not sure if we should be buying or selling first. The downpayment would most likely have to come from sale of our current home. To complicate things we have young kids and are hoping to move before the school year starts in September. Any tips or suggestions?
