Sometimes
we don't have much choice about selling our home and buying another.
Circumstances, such as a job relocation, may have made that choice for us.
However,
most often the decision to move is discretionary. Sometimes people move simply
because they think it's a good idea. They feel that "now" is the
right time to find their next dream home.
So
how do you make that kind of decision?
There
are, of course, many reasons to make a discretionary move. Usually, those
reasons fall into one of two categories: need and want.
You
may need to find a new home, for example, because you've outgrown your current
property. Perhaps you have a growing family and require more space. Maybe
you're doing more entertaining and need a larger backyard with a more spacious
deck. It could be that the commute to work is arduous and you need to move to a
place that's closer.
Those
"needs" may motivate you to move, but sometimes a "want"
plays an important role, too.
For
example, you may want to live in a quieter neighbourhood or in a newly built
home that requires less maintenance. Maybe you simply want a change.
If
you're thinking of making a move, take a moment to write down a list of your
needs and wants. Seeing them on paper will help make the decision easier.
