I ask because we're not sure where we will stay while waiting for the closing and after leaving our current home in S. Fla.
You are correct. Many variables. New construction, new spec home, MLS, by owner, mortgage company, title company and, last but not least, a lot depends on the closing date on your existing home. It may be best if you check with your broker. If it is the developer they will give you a firm date. Others should include date in the sales contract.
