[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would research short-term housing options and then put the house on the market. I hate the idea of carrying two mortgages, just on the off-chance that you don't sell right away. I spent about $7,000 painting and carpeting a 3-level townhouse and another $2,500 on miscellaneous handyman repairs. Another $100/month on storage in order to stage the place (stored books, toys, out-of-season clothes, clutter) and over $3,000 because my stuff had to be moved twice and stored for 6 weeks. Didn't need a stager - just took my realtor's advice. Sold my house in 10 days, but the seller of my new place wanted a LONG closing, so we were in short-term housing for 6 weeks. (moved in with a friend for $1500)[/quote]
