5 commons signs that it is time for a Raleigh family to purchase a new home are:
- New Family Members: One of the easiest signs of needing a new home is the same sign that is new family members. An expanding family means a new for more space and more storage which is a great time to purchase a new home.
- Lack of Space: When a family is getting crowded in a home and there is a lack of closet or storage space, this is a sign it is time to consider a new home. In some situations, this pops-up in specific rooms and not the entire home. For example, if you have individuals over and the kitchen is crowded regularly, that is a sign it could be time for a new home.
- Downsizing: When a family grows and begins to move out, that is a very common sign that it is time for a new home. While this can be a sad season of life, it is a great opportunity for a new home and a new community.
- Need New Features: A less common sign that it is time to buy a home is when your home doesn’t have a feature you need. This commonly presents itself as a needed office workspace, outdoor space or a dedicated laundry room.
- Community: One of the biggest reasons that families in the Triangle move are because they want to be in a specific community and in a certain school district.
