Is It Time to Upsize or Downsize? 3 Signs It Might Be Time to Make a Move

As we head into spring—a season all about fresh starts—it’s a great time to take a step back and think about whether your current home still fits your life. Whether your family has grown or your lifestyle has shifted, the home that once felt “just right” might now be feeling a bit… off.

Here are three signs it might be time to upsize or downsize:

1. You’ve Outgrown Your Current Space

If your home feels cramped or you’re constantly struggling to find storage, it might be time to look for something larger. Maybe your family has grown, you’re working from home more often, or you just want room for a proper backyard and a dedicated office. Whatever the reason, upsizing could bring you the space (and sanity) you’re craving.

2. You Have More Space Than You Need (or Want to Maintain)

On the flip side, if you’re finding that rooms go unused or that home maintenance is starting to feel like a burden, it might be time to consider downsizing. A smaller home can mean lower utility bills, less upkeep, and more freedom—whether that’s financial flexibility or just more time to enjoy life.

3. Your Lifestyle Has Changed

Life evolves. Kids move out. You might be retiring, working remotely, or simply craving a change of scenery. Maybe you want to be closer to family, walkable amenities, or nature. If your current home doesn’t support your lifestyle anymore, it might be time for a fresh start in a space that does.
