This is one of the hardest decisions to make, especially when you love your current home. Because there are so many emotions involved, it’s important to take a step back and look at the options with an open mind.
First, you have to make sure that a reno is financially reasonable. If it ends up costing more than buying a new house, you might be better off buying.
Then compare the neighborhoods and school districts. If your neighborhood and school district are better than the place you’d want to move to, then you might want to renovate instead.
If you do end up wanting to sell though, you have to take the whole selling and buying process into account too. That takes time and you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared to move once you sell your home.
Finally, you probably have some good reason for wanting to move. Make sure that a renovation will actually solve those problems, rather than just putting a band aid over them.
