Is it Time to Move?

Is it Time to Move?



Selling your family home is hardly ever about building your financial portfolio. For most of us, it’s usually a matter of necessity.

A growing family, or a changing lifestyle, usually demands different space. Maybe your kids are old enough now for separate rooms. If you have outgrown your living quarters - for whatever reason - it’s time to explore other options.

Here are 5 common scenarios...


1. A Changing Household

Whether a relative is moving in, you have a baby on the way, or you're becoming an empty nester, you naturally require a different space. If you’re struggling to achieve functionality with your current setup, then it may be a smart reason to buy a new place.

2. Your DIY Projects Are Costly

Maybe you bought your current home intending to renovate it, but you underestimated how difficult it is to get started. If your fixer-upper has become a money pit, or a huge source of stress, it may be time to call it quits and seek greener pastures.

3. Difficult To Entertain

If you have too little space to host, or have few boundaries between your party and private space, it’s hard to entertain comfortably. A larger home which allows more freedom and possibilities for hosting, will better align with your needs.

4. A New Job

Imagine being closer to work, your favourite restaurants, or entertainment. Instead of wasting hours in your car, why not pick a home that’s close to everything you love? Shortening your commute could make your days more productive and improve your overall quality of life.

5. Changing Priorities

Urban, suburban, and rural communities offer different things. If you decide you want a slower-paced lifestyle, acreage to raise animals, or access to more businesses, moving homes may be necessary.
