The choice for staying put or moving on
Many home improvement television
series showcase people deciding whether to
improve upon their current homes to make
them into the houses of their dreams or to put
“for sale” signs in their lawns and move on
to something new.
The question of whether to move or stay
put depends on various factors. Such factors
may include emotional attachment to a
home, the current economic climate and the
cost of real estate. Current data points to a
greater propensity for people to invest and
improve upon their current properties rather
than trading up for something new.
According to information collected by
John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the percentage
of homeowners moving up to their
next home is the lowest in 25 years. Many
are opting to make starter homes permanent
by expanding them and repairing homes for
the long haul.
The National Association of Realtors said
that, between 1987 and 2008, home buyers
stayed in their homes an average of six years
before selling. Since 2010, however, NAR
says the average expected length of time
people will stay in their homes before selling
is now 15 years.
Part of what’s fueling this permanency is
that many home buyers were able to acquire
rock-bottom mortgage interest rates shortly
after the 2008 recession. As a result, they’re
not inclined to walk away from those rates,
even if doing so means getting more house.
Also, a low inventory of available houses has
stymied repeat buying for many people.
Those factors and others have led many
homeowners to invest in renovations instead.
The experts at Bankrate say realistic budgeting
and comparing renovation project costs
against mortgages and interests rates can
further help individuals decide whether to
remain in their current homes or move out.
Very often a smarter layout and more efficient
floor plan can make meaningful differences
in spaces. Renovations and redesigns
can make sense and often are less expensive
and disruptive than moving.
