There is nothing like the opportunity for a fresh start with a new property, but at the same time, the stress of going through a move is second to none. As if the constant negotiating and paperwork that comes from buying a house wasn't enough, you have to pack up every last thing you own and make sure that the place you are leaving is a decent state for it to be passed on to another owner.
Many people who go through the experience of selling their home find that the euphoria of getting somebody to buy it can quickly make way for frustration as they prepare for their move and make demands about the place they want to move into. It is the last thing that anybody wants to do when they are ready to move on. Nonetheless, there can be undesirable consequences if this kind of thing gets ignored. Nobody wants to deal with the fallout from buyer drama when they want to focus on their own next steps, either. It is tricky to find the sweet spot that is less stressful for everybody involved.
