A Record Percent of Buyers Are Planning To Move in 2025 – Are You?

on
  This could be the year  to sell  your house – and here’s why. According to a recent  NerdWallet  survey,  15% of people are planning to buy a home this year . That’s actually a record high for this survey ( see graph below ): Here's why this is such a big deal. The percentage has been hovering between 9-11% since 2020. This recent increase shows buyer demand hasn’t disappeared – if anything, it indicates there’s pent-up demand ready to come back to the market. That doesn’t mean the floodgates are opening and that there’s going to be a huge wave of buyers like we saw a few years ago. But this does signal there’ll be more activity this year than last. At least some of the buyers who put their plans on hold over the past few years will jump back in. Whether they’re feeling more confident about moving, they’ve finally saved up enough to buy, or they simply can’t wait any longer – this is the year they’re aiming to take the plunge.

Signs it’s Time to Buy a New Home

on
Sometimes we wait until what we think is the “exact right moment” to buy a new home. We’re waiting for a sign, a slap in the face, or writings on the wall to tell us it’s time to move. Whether you’re itching to get out of your apartment, or outgrowing your starter home, it could be the right time for you to start packing.

Wishing to Entertain More

The older we get, the more we entertain at home. Dinner parties, entertaining at holidays, and friends stopping in calls for the space to have people over. Having space in a kitchen, maybe with a butler’s pantry or wet bar could be what you’re needing. Building a new home allows you to customize your kitchen to fit the needs of your family.

Office Space

Many jobs have the ability to work from home some, or all of the time. Studies show that working from other use spaces like the couch or kitchen table can be bad for your productivity. The couch is a place you nap, watch TV, or hangout in. This can confuse your brain when it’s time to work, and when it’s time to relax and chill out because you’re doing everything in the same space. Consider a space where you can totally devote to things like work, paying bills, and organization. It doesn’t have to be a whole room, and your new home designer at the builder’s showroom can help you choose the best option. 

Need more Bedrooms

A time when many people move to a new house is when they start having children, or when the family grows. Having an extra bedroom, play area, or extra bathrooms can be extremely beneficial when having a child. This can help with keeping your home organized so toys aren’t everywhere, and you can have your own space as well.

Celebrating a Life Accomplishment

Maybe you just got that big promotion you’ve been working so hard for, or your own business is finally taking off. You’ve earned it! With your new space, choose a home with features you’ve always wanted: a big walk in closet, or cozy standalone tub. Building a new home allows you to select those perfect additions that can turn your dreams into your reality.

Outgrowing Your Current Space

When you’ve outgrown your current home or apartment, you’ll know. If your home is overstuffed, you’ve probably accumulated lots of older, unused items. A new house can be a great time to sort through everything and keep what you actually need and use. New spaces to fill can help you really prioritized those treasured items. You may have also outgrown your current neighborhood. That downtown section may have been great when you first started your career, but it might be time to have more land to settle into. You might be an empty nester and looking for less maintenance.
