My house is appraised at $125,000 and I owe 22,500 on it. I am interested in another home worth $100,000 with more land and bigger home in a more rural area. I want to put $60,000 down from the sell of my home. The seller wants to sell ASAP. Do I need to sell my home now and use the money to put down on the other home? Or can an agreement with the bank be made to where I can purchase now and put the equity I made off of my original when it sells?

If you have that much equity in your house I can't imagine you would have any problems dipping into your saving account for 10% to put towards the new house. Just buy the other one and put yours on the market.

You can apply equity to your home whenever you want.

Try a home equity loan. Rates are low right now.

This. If you have that much equity in your house you shouldn't have a problem.

You could buy the new house with 12 payments + balloon along with a written agreement to refinance.
