Selling your home is a big decision which is why many people go back and forth about putting their house on the market. There are pros and cons to staying in your home or putting it on the market, so let’s take a look at them.
3 Reasons to Stay
1. If it isn’t affordable to move. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a change of scenery, but be careful not to spread your finances too thin. When you finally make a move you need to be able to financially support it.
2. If renovations could make you love your home again. Renovating your home can give you a fresh start and help you fall back in love with your house. Renovations don’t have to be extensive and costly. New paint, new kitchen cabinets, updated appliances and brand new hardware can really transform a space.
3. If your family is nearly grown. Raising teenagers in a tight space has its challenges, but if your kids are about to move out and make you an empty nester it can be best to hang in there until they’ve move away. As cramped as things are right now you’ll soon have more space to spread out.
3 Reasons to Go
1. If you’re ready for a long awaited change. It’s not uncommon to fall out of love with your home and the neighborhood you love in. Our tastes and needs change over time. Living in an area that you don’t love can be very dissatisfying, so if you’re ready for a change go for it!
2. If your home is overcrowded. If your family has outgrown your home and sharing you tight space is causing friction it’s time to go house hunting.
3. If there are bigger and better opportunities for you somewhere else. If you’re ready for a big life change and you don’t feel like you’re going to find it where you currently live take the leap and relocate.
