Moving vs. Remodeling
Many homeowners at one point or another are faced with the dilemma of moving vs. remodeling. Being that every situation is unique, it is important to weigh both sides of the equation before determining what decision makes sense for you. There are three key questions to ask yourself when determining whether to move or remodel.
- How do you feel about your current location in terms of safety, commute, and proximity to friends and family?
- How do you feel about your current neighborhood?
- How do you feel about your lot in terms of size, etc.?
If you are comfortable with all of these things, then the decision to remodel is probably the right one for you. Cost is another factor to consider when determining whether to move or remodel.
