Home sales continue to rise, at record highs, and good homes get snapped up pretty quickly. So, what should you do as a seller looking to trade up? Should you buy before you sell your primary home? And are you ready to stay in a \\u201ctemporary\\u201d home for a considerable period of time until you buy a home that\\u2019s right for you, at the right price?

And how will an increase in interest rates impact the housing market? Will higher rates kill demand or continue to pull in buyers attracted by near record-low rates? Are housing trends strong across the U.S. or in small pockets? And will the recent rout in stocks drive people to invest in homes as a rush to safety?'
