Are You Outgrowing Your Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Samson Properties

Are you outgrowing your home?  I often work with clients who find themselves outgrowing their home. Sometimes these are couples who have welcomed their first child into the world, and other times it’s the simple accumulation of “stuff” over time which has crowded their house.

While I’m always glad to help homeowners make the “upgrade” to a bigger home (and now is a pretty good time to buy a lot of house for comparatively little money), I’m also interested in helping them make the most of the home they have today. Given the amount of time we spend in our homes, it makes sense to work towards a clutter-free, organized, peaceful environment.

Sometimes I work with clients who find the things they own have ended up “owning them.” What we own and what we actually use are often very different, and what we don’t use can take up a lot of space. Have you ever calculated the usable square footage an abandoned treadmill or stationary bike takes up in a spare room or garage?

Recently, I came across a very interesting guide to help clients and friends “unclutter” their lives. Written by Dinah Sanders, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff is a handy way to approach the problem of a packed house (and the stresses associated it). From a review of the Discardia:

“With three key principles and numerous practical tips, Discardia helps you…

 

“Solve specific issues”

 

“Carve away the nonsense of physical objects, habits, or emotional baggage”

 

“Uncover what brings you joy.”


If you have outgrown your home and you’re looking to upgrade or even downgrade your home, I’d be happy to help. You can reach me right here at Ready to Sell.

You're right, buying a new home and selling the old one at the same time can be tricky, but it is so worth it to be in a home that "fits" you better!!
