Are you a Canton home owner who has been thinking about investing in a new home?
You’re not alone. In fact, one recent study found that the average American moves every five to seven years.
Still, you might be wondering if now is the right time to do so.
Today, I’m going to tell you about some common reasons why people decide to invest in a new home.
Canton Real Estate for Sale
Here are some of the most common reasons we hear for why people want to invest in a new house:
They’ve outgrown their current home. They may have bought a 2-bedroom home as a young couple and now they have two kids and a third on the way.
They want to upgrade. Maybe they’re looking for a home with more modern amenities or a larger backyard.
They’ve recently changed jobs. Their new job is on the other side of the metro area and they’re looking for a home that’s closer to work.
One of their personal relationships has changed. Perhaps they just got engaged or they just finalized a divorce. Perhaps their last child went to college. Whatever the change, it calls for a new home.
They want cash. This is especially true for people who put a lot of money down on their home. They want to free up some of that equity, so they sell their home.
They want a more free-spirited lifestyle. Some people would rather spend their money on traveling the world and living in apartments while doing it than to put it into a mortgage. Selling their house frees them up to pursue the lifestyle they want.
They desire to be closer to family (or farther away). These individuals are moving, at least in part, to see their family more often or to be further away from them.
They want to put off any home maintenance. If they’ve been in their house for 10 or 15 years, they know that sooner or later they’re going to have to shell out some major money for repairs. Instead of waiting for that time to come, they move to a newer home so they don’t have to worry about that just yet.
They’re retiring. Thus, they’d like to live in a home that has a master bedroom on the first floor or a smaller yard to take care of. Or perhaps they want to move to an active-adult community.
