Unfortunately, our homes don’t always grow with us. What may have initially worked fine for a single person, a young couple’s starter home, or a family with a newborn can quickly become too small as our lives change! It could be more people living under one roof or maybe you are working from home and need room for your buisness!
Remodeling and adding to your home is one option for creating more space, but it can be costly, and the size of your property may be prohibitive. That’s when moving to a bigger home becomes the best solution.
WHERE DO YOU NEED MORE SPACE?
The first thought when upsizing your home is to simply consider square footage, bedrooms, and bathrooms. But it’s important to take a more critical approach to how your space will actually be used. Do you need more bedrooms or a quiet office space then focusing on bedrooms and bathrooms makes sense. But if you are looking to entertain larger groups of people, it may be better to prioritize group spaces like the kitchen, dining room, living room, and outdoor space—it’ll pay off during the holidays or summer vacations, when everyone is coming to visit for big gatherings.
MOVING OUTWARD
If you need more space, but don’t necessarily want a more expensive home, you can probably get a lot more house for your money if you move a little further from a city center. You may have to give up your late night walk to the ice-cream shop! It just might be worth checking out and it might be your best option for upsizing while avoidinga heftier price tag.
