Moving closer to family and friend
Life can take you all over the world. Eventually, though, you might want to return to your hometown. About 67% of people say they would like to move back to their hometowns because they want to get close to family. Studies show as people age they are more likely to move to be near relatives.
Starting a family
A change in the size of a household often pushes people into larger or smaller homes than they currently have. Deciding to move in with a significant other or new spouse and having a baby (or another baby) often creates an urgent need to increase the size of a home.
Downsizing
While some are starting a family on the other hand, children moving out of the home, divorce, and deaths in the family often create a need and desire to downsize or have a change in scenery.
Planning for retirement
New financial situation can quickly change the landscape for how much home you can afford and what type of lifestyle you want to live. Maybe you are about to retire, and your current home is no longer affordable, or maybe someone has decided to forego income to stay home. Either way you may need to consider different approaches for retirement.
