The signals don't happen at the same time. It usually comes to your mind when you are looking for more storage space on a top shelf of the closet or you're sliding big plastic bins underneath a bed.
It is one thing to be efficient but if you're using the bedroom for multiple purposes like an office and workout area, the time is near. You may have loved your 1,200 square foot Tucson home when you initially purchased it but the time to make a move is calling you to a bigger Tucson home.
Intended Use
When you first bought your house in Tucson, your relationship status may have been single or married not long ago, and two bedrooms was adequate. At present, you have a child and may be expecting another or the kids are growing and more individual space will help them more. Or, if you've received a job promotion at work, when your relatives or in-laws are in town that second bedroom does not work very well as an office space.
Renovations
Home buyers usually get their very first home in Tucson assuming they can modernize it into the home they desire. In most cases, this is an accurate statement. However, remodels can uncover additional issues that need to be fixed.
Let's say you want to increase the closet space. That renovation can reveal that the bedroom is actually too small. If you are taking a wall out of the kitchen to put in an island, this can reveal that the dining area doesn't accommodate the table you want, or it can push too far into the living space.
New home buyers can easily fall in love with their first home and skip over the really important details during the tour. Sometimes buyers take a look at a house and believe they can renovate a home just like they do on a reality TV house flipping show.
They realize later on there are distinct flooring styles all through the house which makes it a longer and more expensive process. Renovation is not for everyone, especially first time home buyers.
Lifestyle
Did you purchase your first house because of its amazing location in the Tucson hills? Is it also near any of your favorite restaurants, shopping, and hiking trails?
If you're like most people they buy their first home to match their lifestyle. Your kids, jobs, parents getting older are only a few things that can radically alter our lifestyle in a few years. Is your commute longer because of the city's growing population?
Perhaps you want to use your home to entertain more, versus going out to entertain? Would a garage with a direct entry into the home or less yard to take care of make your life simpler ? It could be the right time to look for a home that meets your new lifestyle.
