Episode Synopsis

Should you buy your next home first or sell your current one first? It’s one of the biggest questions homeowners face — and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. In this episode, Dion and mortgage broker David Pelligra break down the pros and cons of each strategy, the risks of bridging finance, and how to structure your settlements so you’re not left stranded between two homes (or two mortgages).
You’ll learn:


Why selling first is usually safer financially


The hidden risks of buying first in a hot market


How bridging finance really works (and why it’s often a last resort)


Smart ways to use long settlements and licence agreements


The biggest mistakes buyers and sellers make when lining up their moves


If you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just planning your next move, this episode will help you make the right call with confidence.
