Signs That Help You Know When It's Time to Make the Move to a New Home



Have you ever thought to yourself “Should I move to a new home?” It’s pretty common for homeowners to ask themselves this question. No matter how many years you have lived in the house you currently own, the thought of moving might have crossed your mind at least once.

When is it the best time to move to a new Point Breeze homes for sale in Pittsburgh? This might answer your question.

 

Your current home is too small or too big for you.

You might have purchased your home when you were still single but if you’re already married and have kids, you might need more space to live comfortably with your growing family. You might also have kids who just graduated high school and have now left the home for college, leaving you with an empty nest. Living in a home that’s too small or too big for you can become emotionally, physically, and financially taxing. If the space does not fit you and your needs anymore, consider this a sign that it’s high time to move.

Does your roof need fixing? Plumbing needs to be repaired? The bathrooms and kitchen need to be remodeled? You need to convert a big room into two smaller ones?

Connie, there are so many reasons to move, and so often owners ignore them because it's often so daunting to deal with getting the place ready for the market.

The homes too small and overcrowded seems to be pretty popular reason.

Connie Wolff you are so right - sometimes we wait forever to outgrow the home and do not care for what's going on in the neighborhood!

The pain of moving out is so much that this is ignored. Not right for sure.

Good points on when seller should start thinking of moving.

This is good advice for prospective home buyers. Many delay the process because of the challenge of the move.
