When is it Time for a Bigger Home?

July 6, 2021 by Rachel Gontkovic

Today I’m sharing an article from RISMedia’s Kara Masterson.

If you have always wanted to live in a bigger home, then you may be wondering when the right time is for you to move. Bigger homes are more expensive and require more maintenance. However, you may be at a point in your life financially where you’re ready for a bigger place. Here are several signs that indicate it’s time for you to move into a bigger home:

Your Family Is Growing
Your current home may not fit your needs if your family is growing. If you’re expecting another child, then you will need a home with extra rooms. You’ll also need a home with extra storage space and bathrooms. This can be a very common reason why people seek to upgrade their homes. By checking in your area, you can start to plan your budget even before the birth of your child and make sure that an upgrade is right for you.

You Have the Money To
Many people move into a smaller home because that is all that they can afford. However, if you can afford to move into a bigger space, now may be the time to do it. If you have saved up a significant amount of money or are earning more money than you used to, you can likely handle the financial responsibility of buying a larger home.
When considering this type of move, make sure to look in a nicer area, such as one with better schools and other community opportunities.

You’re Working From Home
More people are working from home these days, and one of the keys to successfully working at home is to have the right space. That’s why you may need a larger home. Most small homes do not have enough room to accommodate a home office or the space for a makeshift desk.

If you live in a bigger home, you can convert an unused room into an office space. This can be especially helpful if you are considering starting a business, as having a space in your home to do this can save you a lot of money on rent.

You may love your current home, but it may be time for you to look for something a little larger. If your family is growing, it may be time for more space. Moving into a bigger home is also a good idea if you have the funds. Additionally, a new, larger house can be a big help if you work from home and need designated office space!
