The advice I would ignore if I were moving with teenagers today: Wait until you're absolutely bursting at the seams.
Your teenager just claimed the bathroom for 45 minutes.
You have one bathroom.
There are four of you.
This is not a drill.
Look — nobody wakes up one day and says "you know what, I think I'll wait until my family is completely unraveling before I buy a bigger house." But that's exactly what happens when you keep pushing the move down the list.
The signs are already there:
🚪 Doors that don't get opened anymore because "privacy"
📱 Someone's always on the couch because their room got taken over
🍽️ The kitchen table is now a homework battlefield every single night
🛁 A bathroom schedule. An actual bathroom schedule.
You don't have a space problem yet.
The advice I would ignore if I were moving with teenagers today: Wait until you're absolutely bursting at the seams.
You have an early warning problem.
And the families that move before the tension peaks? They'll tell you — the house didn't just give them more room.
It gave them their family back.
The best time to upsize was last year. The second best time is before somebody loses their mind over the shower.
