In your mind, you know you need to sell your home and get a bigger home for your growing family. But your heart isn’t ready to part ways with the home where you decorated the first nursery. I have 7 signs it’s time to let go and make your move.
Selling your home and buying a forever home, is a big endeavor full of hope, emotion, and challenges. Letting go of your first home can be the first obstacle to overcome. I have put together a short list of signs that you may recognize now or perhaps later on when it is the right time to make the move.
The 7 Signs List (Buying or Selling Your Dream Home)
- You Have Curiosity about Real Estate: If you find yourself peeking through the real estate ads, wondering what is on the market, that is the first sign that you are interested.
- “For Sale” signs popping up around your neighborhood: If a house on your block, similar in size, just sold for what you’d be happy to get for your home maybe it’s time to sell.
- Interest Rates: If you worry about the interest rates going up before you make your decision.
- Your Home No Longer Fits Your Lifestyle: Another factor to consider is how well your home meets your everyday needs. Perhaps you could use another bedroom to accommodate your growing family
- You Outgrew You Home: If you know remodeling won’t fix the lack of living space, number of bathrooms or bedrooms.
- School Systems: If you are checking out schools for your pre-kindergartener, maybe another neighborhood puts you in the right district.
- You Dream About Another Home: Maybe you just can’t get the vision of your perfect home out of your head at night.
All of these signs, collectively, or individually may mean you are on the path to letting go. And, it all takes time. The perfect place to start, if you think you are ready, is to see what you’d qualify for by getting preapproved. Give us a call for a free consultation, we’d love to help.
