As the saying goes, all things must come to an end, and so is true even with real estate.
For years, it's been your home, your very own, and you have been loyal and committed; but when it's no longer doing it for you anymore, you should know when to let go. But how does one know when to throw in the towel?
"A home must be elastic. It must give, expand and contract, while helping you hold it all together. And when it no longer does, it may need to go," said the News & Observer. "A home's job is to support those who live there, not enslave them. When where you live weighs you down like a boulder, it's time to roll that stone."
According to Realty Times, these are 5 reasons why you should be divorcing your house:
It doesn't help with the housework
You can't seem to make your lawn a luscious drapery of plants because of huge shade trees around, or that a supposed focal point white two-storey stone fireplace is now more of a mustardy yellow. The rule is that your house should make housework easy, not complicate or prevent it.
It's in need of a makeover
Is your house already begging for a makeover? It could be from non-fixable dishwasher, sticking doors, warped flooring, or walls that are too stressed to even accept paint. Think about whether you're willing to do the makeover and stay or you'd rather have a new owner take care of those.
No matter how much you do for it, it's never enough
Listen to your house and you might just realize it telling you to move. Well, of course your house can't actually speak, but just read between fixing one thing then another one breaks kind of lines.
It doesn't make you feel sexy
It's when you no longer feel refreshed after shower because the water smells of dirt and the bathroom gets too humid that it's taking your forever to clear the glass door and mirrors. And the ultimate mood-killer, you walk out of the shower and actually smell like mud.
It talks back
No, your house isn't haunted; it's just the pipe work talking back. When you can't flush the toilet or turn on faucets without hearing those disturbing, unidentifiable noises, then you have yourself a talker and it must be high time to file that divorce.
