Re: selling and buying a home

The escrow money gets to you at the closing...the proceeds from your sale buy the next house. You will need a separate downpayment for the house that you wish to buy thatcomes out of your own monies BEFORE your sale. There are ways to make this dollar amount less that the normal 10%.

Good Luck
