When you have to make a move, it is important to engage your children in the process. Moving can create concern and anxiety for children that their parents may not pick up on right away. It usually means leaving favorite playmates, going to a new school, and a lot of uncertainty about what the new neighborhood will be like.
Include everyone in the discussions about the move, and invite the children to participate in house hunting trips. Work with a Realtor who is comfortable with children and sensitive to their needs, and stay alert to dealing with their concerns.
Small children can be drawn into the process of showing the house by keeping their toys and clothes picked up. Teenagers may be especially sensitive about strangers invading their space and may resist making that space "show well". It is important that all of the family members are prepared to stay out of the way when the house is being shown.

You already own a house, but one day you hear that the house you have desired for years is on the market. Out of curiosity, you call your favorite Realtor and arrange to see if the inside of your dream house is as terrific as the outside, and--suddenly you are in love. The sellers need a relatively fast settlement, and are not in a position to accept an offer that is contingent on selling your home before closing on the new one. While you are confident your house will sell fairly quickly, you can never be sure in a fluctuating market.
A bridge loan may be the answer to your situation. Many lenders specialize in providing short term loans for just this type of situation. The principal and interest is paid back when you close the sale of your present house. If the market in your area is strong and there is a good possibility of selling your home quickly, or if you are willing to offer your home at a price that will move it in a sluggish market, then a bridge loan is a tool that could make the home you love a real possibility. A good Realtor and a knowledgeable loan officer are the team you need to turn this kind of possibility into your future.

You have to have a reasonably good financial foundation before a lender will approve you for a mortgage loan. They look for a good credit rating, enough money in the bank to make the initial down payment and pay the closing costs, and a stable employment situation. People who have just qualified for a mortgage loan are usually in better-than-average financial shape. If you have just bought a new house, don't be surprised if you receive a lot of offers from retail stores and other credit card companies offering you pre-approved revolving credit.

Be careful about accepting too many of these offers! New home owners have often wiped out most of their savings to buy their home, and they need everything from linens to furniture to get settled into it. With all of the immediate credit available, it may be very tempting to just say "charge it." If you're not careful, you could be "up to your ears" in debt very quickly. It takes discipline to reach the goal of home ownership--and it takes that same kind of discipline to maintain financial health after you leave the closing table.
