Telltale Signs You’re Ready to Move

Moving to a new home can be life-changing. The reasons for a move vary: you may have a growing family, you might be empty-nesting, or you may just need of a change of pace. But how do you know you're really ready to move? Watch for these classic signs:

You've thought through the details. You've worked out the logistics – where you want to live, when you want to move, what kind of home you want – and feel confident about your decision.

Your family situation is changing. Shifting family dynamics may mean it's time to either move-up or downsize. If your household spatial needs are changing, re-evaluate your current
residence to determine whether it's time for a new chapter.

You did your homework. Investing in a new home is not to be taken lightly. You've taken steps to align your finances with your goals – you've saved enough for a down payment, crunched numbers, kept tabs on interest rates and corrected any errors on your credit report.

You're ready to make a dream come true. Perhaps you've always wanted to own a home in the suburbs. Or a waterfront property. Or a horse ranch. If you're ready to transition to your ideal home, it may be time for a move.
