Is Your Home Still the Right Fit?
When life changes, your home needs might too. Here's what to consider.
Even with mortgage rates still top of mind for many, I’ve been noticing a steady trend: more and more people are choosing to sell their homes—and it’s not always about the numbers. For many, it’s about finding a home that better aligns with where they are in life.
Whether you're stepping into an exciting new chapter or navigating unexpected changes, our homes should support the life we’re building—not hold us back.
Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners are making a move right now:
✔️
Needing More Space — Growing Families or New Priorities
The home that once felt just right can suddenly feel cramped. Whether it's the arrival of a new baby, the need for a home office, or accommodating multiple generations under one roof, many families are finding that they simply need more room to grow.
✔️
Wanting Less Space — Downsizing and Simplifying
On the flip side, some are looking to simplify. A smaller home with less upkeep can mean more freedom—especially for empty nesters, retirees, or anyone ready to spend more time living and less time maintaining.
✔️
Hoping to Live Closer to Loved Ones — Proximity to Family and Friends
Life shifts our priorities. After the past few years especially, many people are choosing to move closer to family and friends to strengthen connections and create a deeper sense of community.
✔️
Starting Fresh — After a Major Life Event or Transition
Whether it’s a divorce, loss, or a desire for a fresh start, selling a home can be a powerful first step toward healing, growth, and new beginnings.
✔️
Relocating — For Work or Lifestyle
From career opportunities to remote work freedom, or simply the dream of a slower pace in a new setting, relocation continues to be a driving force—regardless of interest rates.
The truth is, while interest rates still matter, real life is the biggest motivator. If any of these reasons sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate the decision on your own.
Whether you’re ready to move now or just starting to explore possibilities, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—at your pace and on your terms.
