The home you live in is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make in your life. That’s why it has to suit your lifestyle and tastes.
Life changes often cause families to outgrow the homes they’re living in. Having a family means you need more functional living spaces. Your love of entertaining requires a kitchen that can accommodate such activity.
Moving seems like an obvious choice – you can find a home that satisfies everything on your ‘needs’ checklist.
But what if you love the neighbourhood you live in? What if you live next to a great school and don’t want to uproot your family from one location to another?
Moving isn’t your only option. Instead, you can stay in your home and make it feel like an entirely new home with the right renovations – and the right contractor.
Here are some reasons to consider renovating instead of moving.
Renovating is an investment, not an expense
If you’re looking to move because you need more living space or want upgraded space in your home, a home renovation can accomplish just that, while adding value to your home.
Moving can cost you and your family upwards of $30,000 thanks to real estate fees, moving costs, commission paid to an agent, and other unforeseen charges. Instead of spending that money to move into a new home, take your funds and reinvest them into your current space. A general contractor with skills and experience can build a home addition, add extra functional living space, and renovate your current rooms to accommodate your needs and changing lifestyle.
The money you spend in your home will increase your home’s value. Should you sell your home in the future, you’ll not only receive your initial investment back, but make money on said renovation investment.
Save time and energy
Moving is a lot of work! You’ll have to pack up all of your belongings into boxes. You may even find yourself putting those belongings into storage until you move into your new place. Since you’re familiar with your current home and have your established routine, maximize your moving budget by adding to the property and make your current home work for you.
Make your home perfect for you
If you’re considering moving, it’s likely because there’s something missing in your home that you need or want. Maybe it’s an extra bedroom, more living space to build a home office, or even a better backyard.
The problem is in your search for a new home, will you find the perfect home that satisfies all your needs? Not only that, but if you’re buying a resale, you may end up spending even more money long after you submit an offer. Not everyone’s tastes will suit yours, and you may want to change the tiles or countertops in the bathrooms. They don’t seem like expensive projects, but the cost adds up and the move is supposed to help you spend less money on what you want, right?
