And 50% of these sell within 7 to 10 days during peak season. What if your home sells so quickly that you don&#8217;t have a new house to move into? A leaseback agreement is your solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It lets you stay in your home as a tenant until you finalize your new residence. However, a leaseback agreement may expose sellers to disadvantages like, heavy rent for an extended period, conflicts with the new owner, and property maintenance expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you can try to sell your old and buy your new home simultaneously with Houzeo. Your home will be on the MLS in 24 hours.
