Default Buying a Discounted new house in TV

A bit off topic, but it was touched upon...

Has anybody used a "bridge loan" to facilitate a buy-home-first-then-sell-existing-home-after? No guarantees of course how quickly your home will sell, but the bridge loan is supposed to help you temporarily own two homes while you wait for your home to sell. It would surely be nice to leisurely shop for a house, act quickly when you find the right one, then sell your existing home even if it took a little while. It would certainly beat having to buy quickly after selling, or renting for a while or any similar scenario.
