Are You Busting The Seams? Homes For Sale!

Are you busting the seams of your home? That is precisely what happened to us.  In 1999 we bought our very first home. This 3 bedroom, 2 baths with about 1400 sq ft was exactly what we wanted, or so we thought. We had it all planned, the girls could share a room and our son would have his own.  The problem, realizing after the fact, was when we looked for a home, we were looking at new construction that didn’t have the carpet on the floors yet.  So the rooms looked much bigger.  The day before closing when we did our walk thru, we couldn’t believe how small the rooms were. There was nothing we could do about it, so we automatically started thinking of ways to make it work.  Our family of 5 lived in that home for 5 years and a For Sale sign was in the yard when we knew our family had definitely outgrown our home.

We loved this home.  It was our first major purchase as a family and the kids heights were drawn on the door frame leading into the kitchen.  We had an attachment.  Our home sold in less than 7 days.

So how do you know if it’s time to make a move because you have outgrown the home or rental you are in now?  Chances are you were just as excited as we were, with being qualified for a home, that you didn’t take the time to ask yourself questions about what you were wanting in a home.

You might have looked at the kitchen and thought, it’s kind of small, but it will be alright.  Your dining area might be just big enough to get a table and chairs but you can make it work. No matter why you chose the home you are in now, you have probably lived in it long enough that you have some equity built up and it’s time to move on to bigger and better things.  You have sacrificed long enough in that tiny kitchen or that bedroom that can’t hold the bedroom suit you got for your anniversary.

So here are the 10 Signs That You Have Outgrown Your Home….

• 1. When you keep your salt and pepper shaker on your coffee table.
• 2. When you have already changed the carpet to hardwood and back again.
• 3. When the girls/boys who share a room are always arguing and want their space.
• 4. When your car window is shot out while in your driveway.
• 5. When the light pitter patter of feet have become stomping grounds.
• 6. When the trip to the sink from the stove is just a heel turn away.
• 7. When you have to put socks in your kitchen junk drawer.
• 8. When your replacement furniture for a larger family doesn’t fit.
• 9. When you have to use your neighbors bathroom to get ready.
• 10. When you know you can have better and it’s alright!
