Do you NEED to sell another home first?
Can you afford to carry two homes?
Are you willing to carry two homes?
Are you willing to essentially move twice?
As to getting a bargain-Homes are selling well. If, you have cash, you might be able to save a bit for someone that needs to get out quickly. Getting a mortgage, is something YOU should discuss with a financial advisor.
You may well find that you can buy tax free bonds and come out ahead on the still low mortgage rates.
