Are you and your loved ones cramped in a starter home, itching for more space to house your growing family? Do you find yourself bumping into protruding corners and tripping over overflowing belongings? If so, it may be time to transition into a larger space better equipped for family fun time. 

Whether you go in search of custom house plans to build the home of your dreams or settle with a spacious pre-owned home, you’ll be happy you made the switch. Read on for seven signs it’s time to move on and move out to a new and improved space.

It’s always messy

If you spend hours cleaning your home to turn around and find it littered with clutter and dirt once more, it may be time to upgrade to a larger space. Unfortunately, a cramped space often leads to more mess, as everyday clutter has nowhere to sit without crowding the space. 

However, try to remember a disorganized home isn’t a moral failing but rather a symptom of inadequate storage and cramped living spaces. Once you move into your spacious new house, you can organize and arrange to your heart’s desire without fear of overflowing cabinets and closets. 

You feel cramped

Feeling cramped is the most obvious sign it’s time to transition to a bigger house. Whether you’ve added members to your family with little ones or furry friends, existing in a space without adequate room to roam and play can be challenging. When picking out a new floorplan, prioritize an open concept and a big backyard for maximal entertainment.

Working from home

Since the rise of remote work setups, many have converted unused corners or reading nooks into a temporary home office space. However, with work-from-home options showing no signs of slowing, some find their kitchen table setups distraction heavy and clutter prone, tanking workplace productivity. Investing in a home with a separate office room enables at-home employees to take on conference calls and focus-intensive tasks in peace. 

Relatives move in

When aging parents or other relatives move in, it can significantly decrease the livable space in your home. Plus, older relatives with special mobility needs often take up more space than children to ensure they can navigate the area. Whether you need a stair-free zone or an extra room to cater to your aging parent, moving to an upgraded space may be necessary.

You can’t entertain

For those who love to entertain, attempting to host in a cramped and cluttered space is challenging and often unpleasant for everyone involved. Entertaining requires ample space, whether in the kitchen, dining room, or outdoor area. When scouring the market for homes, prioritize open floor plans and outdoor hang-outs to ensure your next get-together will be one for the books. 

More financial flexibility

If you’ve recently received a promotion or switched to a more rewarding career, it may be time to invest in a larger home. A more lucrative job allows you the opportunity to upgrade, providing ample space for your family while you have the cash on hand. 

Wrap up

Though it may be tough to give up your well-loved home for an upgraded space, moving onto a larger house with room for growth can bring new memories. Whether you’ve introduced little ones into your family, fallen into a financially lucrative position, or found yourself itching for a more entertainable space, it may be time to begin the house hunt.
