Just face it: your house sucks.You either have been in that house for too long that you have already lost sight of how sad, cluttered, and unwelcoming it is. It could also be that the amount of stuff that needs to be done have accumulated that it's become overwhelming and you are just at the point of ignoring them altogether.
If so, then pack it up and get moving. Sometimes, all it really takes is that one defining moment that will make you push the eject button. So how do you really know if it's time to move on?
Here are 5 honest reasons to sell your home according to Realty Times:
You have the money
Selling your home to get a new one could be expensive, add to that the moving cost. But if it will also take you to cash out a significant amount of money to give your house an overhaul, then you would probably end up saving if you choose to just let it go and buy a new one. If you have been in area that has appreciated, then you probably gained enough equity to make the move happen.
You can qualify
Mortgage application is no longer as easy as it used to be when banks were giving zero-down, five-year, interest-only loans to almost everyone who applies. Take advantage of the moment if you have the credit score and the down payment; you might enjoy a still low interest rates for something newer and bigger before the rates start to go high again and probably price you out of your move-up home.
Your house is just plain old
If you have been doing repairs every now and then, then that's one good reason to sell your home and move on. Those issues are only to get frequent and they can be expensive. It should make more sense to move in a newer and better home and avoid having to deal with repairs from time to time.
Your projects exceed your budget - and your skill level
If you are not a big DIY person person which means that you need to hire a professional every time you are faced with a home repair or a home update, you would be better off cutting your losses and pass those onto the next owner.
Your house makes you sad
You should look forward to coming to your home; it is your sanctuary and it is the only place where you can forget all the stresses of the outside world. But if you prefer staying out and spend more time somewhere else than your home, then it's probably no longer providing you the comfort and the happiness that homes are supposed to provide. Go where you will be happy; and a new house is always a good idea.
