When relocating to a new area, especially a higher priced one, you may be concerned about getting the most home for your money. You may be tempted to opt for a larger home in a less desirable area rather than settling for a smaller home in an affluent community. From an investment standpoint, you could be making the wrong choice.

Home prices in popular and affluent communities tend to increase more rapidly than those in less-sought-after, middle-class neighborhoods. That's why real estate professionals frequently advise home buyers to choose a smaller home in a better neighborhood over a larger home elsewhere.

This strategy is particularly useful for home buyers who do not expect to own their home for more than a few years. They may need the likelihood of a higher appreciation rate to help ensure they make a profit and cover selling costs when the time comes to move again.

We have the expertise to help make your relocation go as smoothly as possible. Find out more in our online report, SMOOTH: A Dozen Ways To Plan The Perfect Relocation.

Nobody wants to carry two mortgages on two homes at the same time. Sometimes, however, an overlap occurs between buying a new home and selling the old one. Here's where a bridge (or "gap," or "swing") loan can take the pressure off the monthly budget and provide down payment money.

• Take a short-term loan.
• Pay off as you choose.
A bridge loan is a short-term loan for which the equity in your old home (and sometimes in your new one) serves as collateral. Various lenders charge different interest rates - often 1 or 2 percentage points above the current prime rate, or a bit higher than the current regular mortgage rate. Depending on the lenders' requirements (appraisal, title search, etc.), closing costs can be anywhere from 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan amount. You may pay the loan off when you sell your home, or in monthly or quarterly installments. If your home does not sell within the specified term (often 6 months or a year), the loan is usually renewable.

Not all home sellers need to go the extra mile to sell at a good price. But where help is needed, there are several things we can consider together to make a tough sale happen. For example:

1. To obtain your best price, don't be in a hurry to sell. Allow time for the right buyer to come along.
2. Decide early what your lowest price will be. On the other hand, don't hold out for the impossible.
3. Think of pricing in terms of un-rounded numbers ($99,800, for example instead of $100,000).
4. Always be ready to show your home at short notice.
5. Be willing to redecorate if necessary, and mention that in your listing.
6. Reply at once to an offer.
7. Avoid asking for contingencies on an offer.
8. Make immediate possession possible.

Where homes are selling as fast as they come on the market, you might try one or more of the following ways to beat the competition to the front door:

• Bid realistically
• Make your offer
• Be flexible
(near listing price) instead of hoping your seller will cave in to a low offer. without strings (sale of previous home, home inspection, etc.) but only if you're certain your old home will sell quickly or the property is in move-in condition. (within reason) to a seller's conditions concerning conveyable property, dates of closing and occupancy. Giving in a little may gain you a lot.
