Selling and buying by August for new job -- Is it even possible??

Hello, r/realestate!

Long time lurker on this sub and needing some advice. TLDR at the bottom.

My husband received a job offer in Dayton, Ohio (about an hour and a half from where we live in Indiana) last week and they would like him to start full time in person mid-August.

We currently own our home (purchased in 2017) in Indiana. We have a realtor here in Indiana and have the goal of putting our home on the market June 12th after we do some minor repairs and cleaning.

We were first time homebuyers in 2017, so the process of selling and buying at the same time in this market is overwhelming since we know nothing about selling a house. We are not able to afford a downpayment on a new home without the cash from our current one selling.

We were feeling ok initially thinking that we would sell our house quickly in mid-June, find something new in Ohio by the end of June and be moving in by late July/early August. But after reading on this sub that some people are looking for months and months and making dozens of rejected offers, my hope is dwindling.

So far we have... found a realtor to sell our home in Indiana, reached out to a realtor in Ohio, scheduled a meeting to be pre-approval (I am hopeful that part won't be a problem, we have excellent credit and already have a home).

Is this timeframe even possible? Do we not even bother to try in this market and just rent for awhile? The most important thing is that we have a place to live by August when my husband starts his new job.

Any advice on our next steps or things I have missed would be incredibly appreciated!! Thank you!!

TLDR: My husband and I need to sell our home and buy a new one by August. Is it even possible in this market?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
