Every website shows the same data. I'll call the listing agent, check what nearby homes really netted after seller credits, and tell you what the tax bill will be for you. Free, from a local agent who knows the street.

You're not alone. Many homeowners who'd like something smaller stay put because of today's mortgage rates and how few smaller homes come up for sale. There are ways through both.
Then don't take a new one. Many long-time owners have enough equity to buy the smaller home with cash from the sale — and today's 7.28% rate never touches them. The calculator below shows whether that works for you.
One-level homes and condos with elevators are scarce, and the good ones go fast. I check Bright MLS every morning for new and Coming Soon listings in the areas you care about, so you hear about them the day they appear.
You may not have to. A rent-back lets you stay in your home for a while after settlement. Or you can buy first using a bridge loan or home-equity line — a lender can tell you what fits. I'll line up the timing so there's one calm move. Compare the options →
