Rough equity before selling costs. For the exact net figure, use the net proceeds calculator first.
Your readiness read
Three things matter for timing a sale: whether you'd walk away with real equity, how long you've owned the home (which affects both your position and how settled the decision feels), and whether there's a concrete life-stage reason pushing the decision. None of these alone tells the whole story — strong equity with no reason to move is different from a pressing life change with thin equity.
This tool weighs all three together and gives you one of three reads: Not yet, Getting close, or Ready now. It also asks about financing flexibility, because that answer determines whether a sell-first or buy-first sequence makes more sense for your move-up plan.
Frequently asked
No. This tool gives you a plain-English read on timing — equity, time in your home, and life stage — not a valuation. For a real, comp-backed number, use the free Equity Map.
There's no single rule. Generally: positive equity, either several years in the home or a clear life-stage reason (growing family, downsizing, job change), and a financing plan you're comfortable with. This tool weighs all three together.
It usually means waiting, unless a life-stage reason makes selling necessary regardless. Run the net-proceeds calculator for your exact numbers before deciding.
For most Tri-Cities move-up buyers, selling first (or a subject-to-sale offer) is the safer default — bridge financing to buy first is the exception, not the rule. Confirm your specific options with your lender.
