    Answered Questions

    Is it better to move out or stay in the home while it is on the market during a divorce?

    I agree with Juan. I would also add that if the decision to sell is calm and both parties agree on the plan, there is nothing wrong with staying in the home while it is on the market. It can help maintain the staging and keep the property show-ready, as long as buyers are given privacy during showings. The bigger issue is planning the move. Consider when you will begin looking for an apartment, how available rentals are in your area, and whether you may need additional time after closing. In a competitive market, requesting 30 days of post-closing occupancy can be a catch-22. A buyer may agree, especially if the seller has leverage, but it could make the offer less attractive to someone who needs immediate possession. You may also be required to pay a daily rental amount and agree to a firm move-out date. Moving before closing avoids the occupancy issue, but creates another risk: paying rent while still carrying the home if the closing is delayed or does not happen. Once inspections are resolved, the appraisal is complete, and the buyer's financing is progressing well, you may feel more comfortable moving. However, nothing is guaranteed until the transaction closes. Weigh the emotional situation, rental availability, market conditions, and moving timeline, then discuss the best strategy with your Realtor and attorney. Wishing you a smooth sale and a positive transition into your next chapter. Karen Walls Walls You DeserveA(R)
