Is It Time To Move?
Do you love your current neighborhood, but feel it's time for a new one? Do you need more space? Want to be closer to work or maybe a specific school? Maybe you prefer to be closer and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Change isn't always easy. Fear of the unknown, the cost, the effort - there is a lot to think about. You may be worried about how your kids will adapt to a new school or feel about leaving their friends and activities. It's also hard to leave a place where you've made memories and feel comfortable.
Between the ages of 18 and 45, the average American will move five to six times. 60% of buyers say the quality of the neighborhood is the top factor that influences their choice.
Change can be overwhelming, but taking the initial steps can help.
- Get on the same page as your spouse, partner and/or family members.
- Get informed on all that's involved.
- Check out school districts and neighborhood amenities.
- Research commute times, or drive times to kids' activities, shops, etc.
- Get to know the community via social media nd by talking to locals.
