Whether any family should sell their home or stay put at any given time is a highly personal decision. Market dynamics naturally are part of it, but that should be considered in the context of your personal life, career, family and financial status. Is the market favorable for buying or selling, or both? "Do I even have time to THINK about it?" And of course, the most important question: |
Here are a few things to consider: |
1. Sign You Should Sell: You frequently crave a neighborhood upgrade a. Your up-and-coming neighborhood never did
|
2. Sign You Should Stay: You can totally afford a new house - if you win the lottery a. While the grass MAY be greener in that other yard, cleaning out the bank account to buy it is NEVER a good idea
|
3. Sign You Should Sell: Space-wise, your family is too close for comfort (and things will get worse before they get better) a. Project your needs out 5-7 years
|
4. Sign You Should Stay: You could fix what ails your home with relatively modest remodeling projects
|
OR.... HOLD THE PHONE! What about staying AND moving? BOTH! Huh? What? Just a wild idea, maybe you can keep your current home AND buy a second home somewhere else! A getaway or whatever you want to call it? Sure, you have roots here, but you really could manage another property, couldn't you? Maybe something that you could use part of the year and rent out the rest? Somewhere exotic, a COMPLETE change from where you are now? Just turn your imagination on.... think about it! |
Either way, your decision to act will involve a lot of WORK! | |
