We lucked out. We planned to put our home on the market in Maine in the Spring 2021 and buy in TV after selling. We wanted to be in the historic section of TV. We saw what we wanted in late January and decided to put in an offer. We had a preapproval but lost that one to a cash offer. We decided we were preapproved and kept looking. Luckily inventory was still good at that time and we found another. Site unseen to us but we have friends that did look at it for us, we actually bid below asking and got it. We sold our house in April and for over asking. It's all about the timing for sure. Glad we didn't wait till now!
