Being out of the market and not having that equity at least engaged always seems like a losing equation for me. Since you are seemingly looking to buy somthing else with the money you made from the sale, i'd assume you're not going to be investing that money short term in between sale and purchase either
I expect to be in my parents place no longer than 3 months. Hopefully within 2 months. So it shouldn't be too bad. If price drops I can lowball the seller a bit. If price raise it won't be a lot anyways.
