Although there are plenty of people out there who simply want to sell their homes, there are even more out there who need to sell their homes, but are still working through the decision-making process.
Many of the issues in life can cause a need to sell a home. Those issues can happen at any stage, whether folks have young families, are at the mid-point of life or nearing retirement. Here are just a few of the problems that may necessitate a move.
Divorce.
In 2012, there were a staggering 118,140 divorces in the United States. About 50 years earlier, there were only 28,935. The fact of the matter is that more and more couples are splitting. In some cases, one spouse might get to keep the house, but oftentimes, former couples are looking to sell homes and make a clean, even split. If you’re going through a divorce, you need to consider whether or not you’ll be able to afford the mortgage yourself if it comes down to it, and/or whether you’ll be able to maintain the home. If not, you may want to sell your house quickly and move on to something you can afford with less stress and pressure.
Aging Out.
The nation is getting older. During the 20th century, the number of persons in the U.S. under age 65 tripled, and by 2030, there’ll be about 72.1 million older persons — more than twice what there were in 2000. As we get older, it can become burdensome to keep up with caring for a home, physically and financially. Once a person reaches age 65, he or she can expect to live 17 more years. Why spend them struggling to take care of a property instead of enjoying life? If you can’t take care of your home, you should consider selling your house fast to cash buyers of real estate to get it off your hands and enjoy your golden years. You’ve earned it!
Growing Up.
Sometimes, families consider looking to sell homes for happy reasons — because their families are expanding. When couples first start off, they buy small, “starter” homes. As their families grow, they need to accommodate the new members, and may need to sell their house for a bigger, better one. If you’re thinking about having kids, you may want to consider whether there’s enough room in your current home.
