Most put their current hose for sale/ Then when it sells, they find a new house to buy. Usually the sale and purchase happen on the same day. Under that assumption, your basic numbers look fine. Talk to a realtor about selling your home and buying the new one and talk to a local licensed mortgage professional about your loan qualifications.

I'm sorry I left so much out of my question. However, you're recommending using a broker help me sell the one and purchase the other. I have no clue about these thing, but can both transactions take place at the same time?
