    I have heard of this barter like tradeoff in which homeowners will switch houses instead of buying it. It is quite good either than letting your home languish for several months in the real estate market. But in most cases, this will only work if the potential swappers have no potential house preference and if the address of the swappers is preferrable for swapping.

    I think they do this for vacation properties with some success. However I cannot see it working on a permament base for homes.

    It can be hard enough to find the right home for a buyer. Now imagine if once the buyer finds a home they like the seller has to agree they like the buyers old home

    I think bartering a house is nice, but be sure it has the same value as your house.
