Another solution would be to take out a no closing-cost HELOC on your present house, to pull out the equity when you need it before the sale. There will almost certainly be an early termination penalty, but probably not more than $700 or so. Eric's suggestion of increasing the sales price and getting it back as a credit to your non-recurring closing costs is a great way to bring down your cash to close requirement. You'd be limited to your NRCCs, but you could put more on an addendum that the lender won't see to come back to a 3rd party you trust after close, say for repairs.
Take a look to see if you get a better rate on the 1st with an 80/10/10 vs an 80/15/5 program. After you close escrow, you could immediately replace the 10% LTV 2nd with a larger one, up to 20% LTV if your credit is very good, and effectively have 100% financing after the fact.
