“Should I Stay or Should I Go?” **enter song by English punk rock band, The Clash**
Apologies for the earworm to those who know that song!
When the idea of purchasing a new home comes to mind, investing in your current home is not always the first thought. People typically start thinking about what it would be like living in a new home, what a new neighborhood could feel like, and what features the new home may have that they’ve spent years hoping to have in their current home.
So, what’s best? Do you buy or renovate? We say, renovate!
Investing in your current home, rather than buying a new home, has incredible benefits. First and foremost, research has shown that the act of moving is more stressful than a breakup or divorce. And moving is quite likely the most stressful of all life events. For anyone who has moved, they can attest to this. So, moving to a new home is not for the faint of heart.
Have you ever stood in your kitchen and thought that you’d love a new look? Or sat in the bathroom thinking of what the space could actually look like if you had a soaker tub? Maybe you are staring at your fireplace and wishing it had a gorgeous mantle surrounded by the most perfect stone you’ve ever seen. After your visions of grandeur dissipate do you feel slightly overwhelmed about where to start then ultimately give up on your remodel goals and walk away asking, “Where do I start?” Don’t fret, we’re glad you asked; and, we got you!
