How to Know When It’s Time to Move

Buying & Selling | 14 Likes

If you’re on the fence of whether to move or not, it’s crucial that the entire family sits down and makes a list of pros and cons. But sometimes, even that’s not enough, and you can be left wondering whether or not it’s the right time to get the moving boxes ready. These are some reasons to keep in mind as you prepare to make this life-changing decision.

In need of a better school district 

If you have kids still in school, it may be worthwhile to consider moving to a better school district, if moving is in the cards anyway. Moving to a better district also puts the home at a higher market value, more so than most other factors. With a younger family especially, this could be a key factor when deciding where to move to.

The commute is shorter

The average commute time in America is 26 minutes, according to the US Census Bureau. And while this is the average, it certainly isn’t everybody’s situation. A long commute can be make or break—from missing dinner with the family to having to consistently say no to plans. Moving closer to work is a big reason many people choose to move, and if your daily commute is catching up to you, it may be something to consider.

More job opportunities

Maybe you’re stuck in a mundane job that you don’t see a future with, or you’re looking to make a total career switch and you don’t live in an area conducive to this life change. Whatever your current situation, just like a long commute, needing to make that jump may require you to reconsider where you live.

You’re ready to downsize

Your kids have moved on and you’re an empty nester in a house that’s too big for your current lifestyle. Downsizing is always a rational reason to move, and could save you money on utilities, giving you more room to travel or to simply enjoy life more!

suburban house

You want a change of pace

Whether you currently reside in the city or in the suburbs, sometimes what you need is a change of pace, and moving can provide just that. Maybe you want to branch out and meet new people, or you’ve gotten all you could’ve gotten out of your current location. Reassess where you’re at in life, and see if moving makes the most sense.

There are plenty of reasons to move to a new location, and these are just some of the ones to consider if this change is on the horizon.
