There’s nothing like the excitement of moving into a new home. But as the years go by, that excitement can start to wane as the wants and needs of you and your family change.
So is it time to leave? While moving may seem like the easiest solution, there are many reasons to consider remodeling instead. 
Moving costs
When you’re budgeting for a move, the cost of a new home isn’t the only thing you’ll need to take into account. There will also be realtor fees and closing costs, as well as potential costs for getting your new home move-in ready, and your old home move-out ready! These costs can add up quickly and unexpectedly. But when you work with Ivy Lea Construction on a remodel project, you’ll get an accurate quote upfront with no surprises along the way.
The devil you know
Maybe your current home isn’t perfect, but after years of living there, no one knows what’s in your home better than you. When you move, you inevitably inherit the sellers’ problems, which could cause lots of headaches. While a home inspection should reveal major issues, you never really know what you’re getting until you’ve moved in. Even if the sellers’ agree to make repairs before you move in, any work that is not done properly likely won’t become apparent until months later.
It’s hard to say goodbye…
So don’t! You chose your current home for many reasons, from the house itself to your neighborhood and more. If you love your house and your community, remodeling lets you have the best of both worlds – an updated home that’s still just where you want to be.
