We speak to a lot of homeowners who are ready to move but are not sure where to start.
Maybe the kitchen's driving you crazy. The kids have left home and now the home feels too big. Or you've been dreaming about a spare room for guests, or finally having your own space for your office.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone. It's one of the most common things we hear.
Here's the thing most people get stuck on: they spend months (sometimes years) asking whether “is now the right time to move”. And honestly, that's the wrong question.
If you're buying another home at the same time as selling, timing the market matters a lot less than you think. If your home has gone up, so has the one you want to buy. It largely cancels out.
The better question is: can you afford to move?
And the only way to answer that properly is to get some numbers in front of you:
1. Talk to a mortgage adviser about your current position.
2. Find out what your next home might cost.
3. Find out what your home is worth now.
4. Go back to your mortgage adviser with those numbers.
That's it. From there, you'll either find out you're in a strong position and can start looking with real intent, or you'll get clarity on what financial goals you need to hit first.
Either way, you're better off knowing.
If you'd like a no-obligation chat about what your home might be worth in the current market, feel free to send us a message or give us a call. Happy to help.
