Can I sell my home and stay in it as a renter?

Yes - a post-sale leaseback allows you to sell the property and immediately lease it back from the buyer. This provides your sale proceeds while giving you time to find your next home. Leaseback terms must be negotiated as part of the sale contract and typically include market-rate rent, a defined term of 30-90 days, and a security deposit. Longer leasebacks may affect the buyer's financing or occupancy requirements.
