Frequently Asked Questions

• What does it mean to upsize a house?

When your home is no longer meeting your needs, it might be time to upsize. Upsizing a home is more than just adding square feet. You want something that fits your lifestyle better, not just bigger. Rather than passing over homes that don’t have enough square feet, consider how the existing space is used differently than what you currently own. Do you need larger gathering space for teenagers or hobby space for a growing interest?

• Is it cheaper to buy a bigger house or add on?

Weighing out the pros and cons of renovating your existing space or buying a new property is an important part of the process. With higher interest rates and substantial home equity, homeowners have a lot of options to upsize their home. When considering a major renovation, think about the inconvenience of living in the space during construction. You might need to move to another space in the house or create a makeshift kitchen area. An experienced contractor can help you plan out the renovation with minimal disruption. If you don’t have dreams of living in an HGTV reality show then a home renovation might not be right for you. Use the home equity you have to purchase a home that already has the space you want. You might only need to change out carpet and paint.

• What to consider when upsizing?

Our free consultation is an important part of the buying or selling process. We talk about how your needs are changing and what are the most important “whys” of upsizing. Some of the questions we explore are how you want to use your space and who you want to share your space with. For example, do you want your home to be the teenage hangout? If so, you might care more about large gathering areas than the number of bedrooms.
