What can I afford for my next house after selling?

Move-up math is two calculations chained together: what you'll net from the sale (price minus payoff and selling costs), and what that equity plus savings supports as a down payment on the next home at a monthly payment you actually want. This tool runs the chain in one screen. The sell-then-buy choreography — contingent offers, rent-backs, bridge options — is where a good agent earns their keep; walk in knowing your range.

Educational estimate, not a loan offer or financial advice. Rates, taxes, and program rules vary — a licensed professional can turn these ranges into real numbers for your situation.
