Are you looking for signs that it’s time for you to move house? The fact that you’re even looking for signs is a sign in itself. However, you can’t go by that alone. It would help if you looked for the unavoidable signs that it’s time for you to pack your bags and move elsewhere. Below, you’ll find some reasons that could indicate it’s a good time for you to move.

Your House Seems To Have Shrunk
Does the house that once seemed grand and luxurious, now seem small and cramped? It can happen when your family grows, along with your possessions. It can also occur when you spend far to much time in the same space, thanks to COVID. Whatever the reason, if your house now seems too small, it could be time for you to move on to a slightly bigger abode.
Your House Seems Too Big
Maybe you’re having the opposite problem. Perhaps your house seems too big now. The most common cause of this is when your children have flown the nest, and you’ve been left to tend to the family home alone. It’s not nice to feel like you’re living life in an echoey barren theme park, so perhaps it’s time for you to downsize and move into a more manageable, cosy, and less spacious place.
You Don’t Have Enough Storage
If you need more storage, you do have options. Do you have space for a conservatory, garage, or a bigger shed? If you don’t want to do that, you could always look at ways to downsize your belongings instead – one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, or so they say. Get rid of duplicates and anything else you own that you don’t need. If that still isn’t working for you, maybe you need to look for a space with more storage.
You’ve Had A Change In Finances
Perhaps you now have more money, and you can afford the home of your dreams. Maybe you’ve had to take a pay cut, and you can barely scrape by. A change in your financial situation may only be temporary, but it’s a known fact that if you want to live comfortably, then you need to live below your means. Make sure you always have a budget in place, and always stay aware of your spending. Taking out home loans that you can easily afford, along with other essentials, is crucial to your wellbeing.
There Are More DIY Jobs, and Repairs Than You Can Be Bothered To Do
DIY jobs and repairs may not be so bad, but if there’s more than you can be bothered with, or have the capacity to do, then you should look into moving to a more modern space. The repairs may end up costing more in the long run if you don’t have them done correctly!
Your Home Doesn’t Suit Your Lifestyle Anymore
Your home must suit your lifestyle. How do you use it? If you know that it’s just too big for you to maintain, for example, buying something lower maintenance will make you happier.
So whether you need more space due to COVID lockdowns, you need to downsize because your children have moved on, or you’ve just been in the same place for too long and need a charge, make sure you sit down beforehand and make a plan of what you want.
Now the only question left; Is it time for you to move?
