Map the dependencies before choosing dates
Identify which purchase funds come from your sale, whether financing can support overlap, and when possession occurs in each agreement. Closing, funding, recording and receiving keys can be separate events. Do not schedule an irreversible move solely from a verbal target.
Build a fallback for the fragile link
Ask what happens if the buyer of your current home is delayed, the new property is unfinished or a wire arrives late. Record temporary housing, storage and extension options with their costs. The calendar below creates discussion milestones 60, 30, 14 and 7 days before your target; they are not required contract deadlines.
Build your planning calendar
These suggested preparation dates are not contract or legal deadlines. Confirm actual dates with the people handling your move.
