Lets have a look at reasons people move and lets see which one you identify with and if it sheds a little light to help you make that important decision.

Repairs and Maintenance


Does your existing home need maintenance and you don't have the time or money to do the repairs? If you find yourself in this situation, sometimes its easier to sell your home and buy something that is move in ready. Sometimes you may have to sell the home for a little less, you should disclose the problems with the house, but if you don't have the spare cash to remodel, let someone else deal with that - sell it as is and move on. You will be surprised how freeing that can be for your mind and your lifestyle.

You Have Outgrown Your Home


If you are bursting at the seams and there is not even enough room to maneuver from to room to room without tripping over someone or something and you feel stressed instead of happy in your home environment, its probably time to move. What are you waiting for? Your life would be so much easier with a bigger home. Imagine….. a home with more space, a space of your own, a garden for the family…. Search NOW!

Empty Nesting / Downsizing



Your family have grown up and left the nest and the house maintenance and house work are just too much, maybe its time to consider moving to a smaller home. Imagine not having to rattle around in too much space, with some doors remaining unopened for a week or more at a time. You could be enjoying your life more with family and friends and in a smaller, more comfortable well used space. People feel fear when its time to scale down. Don't loose sight that the home has many great memories, its difficult to leave them behind but consider how much fun it would be if you could get some equity into pocket and you could spend more time making new memories possibly visiting those you love and making new neighborhood friends.

Cutting Commute Time


When you spend more time on your daily commute and in your car than you do at home, maybe that means its time to move closer to places you visit most, like work! Think about how much more time you could spend with your family or friends if you got home more quickly. It could give you a huge chunk of your life back! 

Retiring


You have worked all your life and now its time to play golf, enjoy beach walks, lazy lunches and travelling …. yes, its time to sell. Your new lifestyle is waiting!

Financial Stress


If owning a home is causing you financial stress and you just do not want that responsibility and yearn for more flexibility, then sell that home! It just may be your best decision. When you are on your feet again you can consider the option of owning again. 

Your Neighborhood Has Changed


Maybe you have been so busy with life that you didn't see the neighborhood had changed and you no longer belong there. Don't feel uncomfortable, neighborhoods change for all sorts of reasons and if you are out of your comfort zone, then its time to move.
