Have You Outgrown Your Home?

Many homeowners are surprised when they suddenly realize that “perfect” home of just a few years ago no longer suits their needs. From an expanding family to the empty nest, it’s common for a home to no longer be the right fit. If you’re unsure if you’ve reached the point where a move is warranted, here are a few signs you’ve outgrown your home.

More Kids than Rooms or More Rooms than Kids

Whatever your phase is in life, the number of rooms is crucial in making a house a home. If you find your youngest and your oldest bunking together or find yourself crashing on the couch when Grandma comes to town, it might be time to look into something bigger. On the flip side, if you don’t want to have to maintain rooms you never enter or find yourself not going into an entire part of the house for a month, you might be ready to downsize. Outgrowing doesn’t have to mean you acquire more space; it just means you need to move on to the space that’s right for you.  

Clutter or Lack of Storage

Are you in a constant state of de-cluttering? No matter how many times you go through your closet, your holiday decorations and the garage you can never seem to get rid of enough. Maybe it’s your space that’s not sparking joy. A new home with more space could be the answer to your storage woes. With upgraded space, there is more availability for you and the things that matter to you.  

Home Office

With the telecommuting business booming, you might find yourself working from your dining room table regularly. Instead of getting distracted by any kitchen chaos or finding your phone calls interrupted by the dog barking, it might be time to invest in a home with an extra room for a home office. With peace and quiet, your home office will make it easier to work from home and easier to leave it its allotted room at the end of the day.

Outdoor Entertaining

Over the last couple of decades, home design trends have shifted towards outdoor living and entertaining areas. This is even more critical in the sunshine state of Florida. Whether you enjoy a quiet breakfast on the lanai or having everyone over to cookout for the big game, having an outdoor space is crucial to happiness within your home. Your yard or outdoor living/dining doesn’t seem to be cutting it anymore? Think about adding proper outdoor entertaining areas to the top of your list when you start looking for a new place.  

Lifestyle

In theory, the square footage, the number of bathrooms, and the backyard might seem fine, but in practice, you’re starting to think there might be better out there. Lifestyle changes sometimes necessitate a change in space. Outgrowing a home can be as simple as wanting an updated kitchen, more natural light or a single-story home. Your home should work for you; you shouldn’t have to work for your home.
