With the real estate market suffering so badly in recent months, it is hard to find a buyer who is willing to pay full price, and many buyers are waiting for the market to improve before investing in a home purchase. Home swapping is a possible solution to this current situation.
But don't assume that if you can't sell your home, that you'll be able to do a house swap instead. Permanent home exchanges are relatively new and their success rate is not very high.
The problem is that when you're dealing with thousands of dollars, you want to make sure you're getting something you like. Add to this requirement the fact that the owner of any house you are interested in must also want to receive your house as part of the trade, and you can see why permanent home swapping is not an everyday occurrence.
A house swap is a possible solution to your selling and buying woes, though it's not an easy one. It does provide you with an alternative approach to dealing with the real estate market in its current state, and if you're comfortable using the internet for sizeable transactions then you shouldn't have any issues looking for a trade partner.
Regardless of how comfortable you are, make sure that you involve a legal professional to avoid any problems that could occur.
