Some people downsize their homes, others relocate to other areas, but the majority of people move because they want more space. The two major issues involved in a move are price and finding the right neighborhood. If you're considering moving up, have a growing family and need more space, or have been renting and are ready to purchase, here are some things to consider: * Neighborhood: Does it have the amenities you want, like parks, shopping, library, etc.? * Bedroom space: How many bedrooms do you need? How about for guests? * Bathrooms: How many do you need for family, guests? * Computer use: Do you need a home office, or two? * Family room: Do you want a place to relax, or for your children and their friends? * Extra room: Do you need a place for media, play, hobbies, or to study? Your budget will affect your choices. Prioritize which features, size and floor plans are important to you before you begin your search. Price and availability will determine the home's affordability. Consider your commute time. That certainly has an impact in today's market.
