Having to move from your current home to a larger one can be a difficult decision to make. Some good reasons for upsizing could be when you're expecting another child, when you need to care for an aging parent, or possibly to enjoy the lifestyle that having more room can bring. If any of these reasons apply to you then it might be a good idea to consider buying a larger home. Here are a few steps to the process:
- ♦ Consult with a Realtor. Your initial conversation will involve understanding what your needs are and whether you plan to rent out your current home or transfer the equity into the new one.
- ♦ Determine your financial ability. You need to know your credit score, get pre-qualified and pre-approved for a purchase amount. By getting financing now while the rates are low, you're likely able to afford more.
- ♦ Negotiating an easy transition. If you need to sell before buying, a skilled Realtor will be able to negotiate a rent back so that you won't have to move twice. You might also need a home sale contingency so that you will not have to sell and be homeless if your purchase doesn't go through.
