We need a change of location
Closer to Work: Before deciding on a specific area or neighborhood, observe local traffic patterns during morning and evening rush hours. Time consumed by commuting reduces time available for leisure.

Better school district: Click here for reports about the school districts you might consider.

Closer to family: How close is close enough (without being too close)?

Closer to shopping, doctors, church, leisure activities: Consider traffic activity and noise density as you contemplate living closer to commercial areas.

We Need A Larger Home
Additional floor: A basement or a floor upstairs can provide comfortable separation for family members engaged in different activities.

More rooms: More bedrooms and/or more leisure rooms often become necessary for growing families.

Larger rooms: Larger bedrooms usually have larger closets.

Basement: A finished basement offers additional space for leisure activities.

More garage space: Especially useful if the home has no basement.

More yard space: A larger yard provides more play area for children, pets and more.

We Need A Smaller Home for Our Next Life Stage

General downsizing: “Empty nest”, reduced mortgage payments, health limitations often make downsizing an attractive option.

Less yard maintenance: Smaller yards allow more time for other activities.

Fewer living levels: One-floor living with bedrooms on the main level mean fewer steps to climb

Fewer bedrooms: Living space for multi-generation family may no longer be necessary.

Basement and/or extra garage space no longer required
