For many buyers, the hardest part of purchasing a new home isn’t choosing the floor plan or community — it’s figuring out how to sell their current home without feeling rushed, stressed, or stuck in limbo.

Trying to line up two major transactions at the same time can feel overwhelming. Questions like “What if my home doesn’t sell in time?” or “What happens if I find the perfect new home before my current one is under contract?” are incredibly common.

At Hartford Homes, we believe the process should feel more manageable.

That’s why we offer flexible home sale contingency options designed to help buyers move forward with more confidence and less pressure. While many builders offer little to no flexibility when a buyer has a home to sell, Hartford Homes works closely with buyers to create personalized solutions that better align the sale of a current home with the purchase of a new one.

What Is a Home Sale Contingency?

A home sale contingency allows buyers to move forward with purchasing a new home while giving them time to sell their current property first.

This can provide valuable breathing room for buyers who may need:

• Equity from their current home for their next purchase
• Additional time to prepare and list their home
• Flexibility during construction timelines
• More certainty before committing to a move

Whether you’re purchasing a quick move-in home or building from the ground up, our team can help explore solutions that fit your situation.

Flexible Options Designed Around You

Hartford Homes offers several contingency pathways to help simplify the process, including:

• Time to list and sell your current home
• Extended timelines to secure a contract
• Lease contingency options
• Dirt start flexibility during construction
• Customized solutions for unique situations

Every move looks different, and our team works one-on-one with buyers to help create solutions tailored to individual timelines and goals.

Need Help Selling Your Current Home?

We value our Realtor partners and are always happy to collaborate with your trusted agent throughout the contingency process.

For buyers who do not currently have a signed buyer agency agreement in place, Hartford Homes also offers a List Assist Program — connecting buyers with approved listing specialists experienced in coordinating the sale of an existing home alongside the purchase of a new construction home.

Many buyers who utilize the List Assist Program experience:

• Savings on traditional selling costs
• Strategic pricing and marketing guidance
• Coordinated timelines between both transactions
• A more streamlined and less stressful transition overall
