Whether your family is growing, you’re starting to make more money at your job, or the area you currently live in no longer feels safe, you may be considering upgrading from an apartment to a home. Here are five signs that you’re ready for a residential move of this magnitude.
1. You’re Outgrowing Your Space
If you’re starting to feel like a big fish in a small pond, this is a clear sign it’s time to upgrade. Your apartment may be feeling cramped and you don’t feel like you’re thriving there. You may long for the freedom of a backyard to call your own, or maybe you just feel like it’s time for the next step in life. This is when you know it’s time to move into a bigger home.
2.Your Neighborhood is in Decline
What seemed like a safe neighborhood to move into a few years ago may be sliding into decline by now. If you don’t feel safe while walking to and from your apartment, the crime rate has been steadily increasing, or your favorite local businesses are beginning to shut down, it’s time to make a move to a safer area and more secure home.
3.You’re Making a Better Salary
You may have initially moved into your apartment because that’s all you could afford a few years ago. But now, you may be making more money at your job thanks to some well-deserved promotions, and actually have enough money to not only afford a mortgage but a healthy down payment as well. You may even be pleasantly surprised to see that you won’t pay very much more for your mortgage than you were paying in rent!
4.Your Family is Growing
You may have started off in your apartment as a newlywed couple, which was perfectly suited for your tiny family back then. But now that you’re starting to have kids, your once-little family is quickly outgrowing your apartment. You may also be leery of raising children in an apartment where there is no space to run and play. This is a very common reason people move out of apartments and into houses.
5.Limited Storage
When your closets start to overflow with clothing and shoes, and you have no more counter space to put your small appliances, you need more house and thus more storage. Why waste money on a storage unit? Take this as an opportunity to finally buy the home of your dreams.
