I would settle the major decisions before the market asks you to make them quickly.
If you have been circling the move without deciding, the last thing I would weigh is how much uncertainty you are carrying into it. In Pomona, CA, a typical sale took 21 days over the previous month, so unresolved questions can become time pressure fast.
Recent supply stood at 2.75 months, and recent offers landed at 101.2% of asking. The typical sold price was $675,000, while the typical estimated home value recently stood at $686,290. My view is that this market still favors people who prepare before they act.
That applies whether you need a larger home, want a simpler setup, or are trying to coordinate both sides of a move. In Pomona, CA, I would not wait for perfect certainty. I would work toward practical certainty budget, timing, property priorities, and a clear strategy for the home you may sell.
Settle your budget now. Clarify the purpose of the move and the minimum outcome you need. I would also get your timeline on paper so the next decision feels deliberate instead of rushed.
