Stuck living in a house that you KNOW is not your forever home? Are there aspects about your home that drive you crazy? Is it too small with not enough storage space? Does it have awkward rooms that don’t make much sense?
Or maybe you ARE in your forever home but you are not in a place financially or otherwise that you can make the changes you desire to have in this home. You might be chomping at the bit for a kitchen reno that you know won’t be coming for at least another year or two. Probably all of us have something we would like to change about our home.
Most of us know when starting a search for real estate if this will be our FINAL house purchase OR if this is just a stop along the way. Having an idea of how long we might live in a particular place can affect the way we shop for it. And how much we invest in it.
