Usually you don\u2019t build up much equity in the first few years of your mortgage, as monthly payments are mostly interest. But if you\u2019ve owned your home for five or more years, you may have significant, unrealized gains.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Has your income or financial situation changed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re making more money, you may be able to afford higher mortgage payments and cover the costs of moving. If your income has decreased, you may want to consider downsizing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Have you outgrown your neighborhood?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The neighborhood you pick for your first home might not be the same one in which you want to settle down for good. You may have realized that you\u2019d like to be closer to your job or live in a better school district.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are there reasons why you can\u2019t remodel or add on?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes you can create a bigger home by adding a new room or building up. But if your property isn\u2019t large enough, your municipality doesn\u2019t allow it, or you\u2019re simply not interested in remodeling, then moving to a bigger home may be your best option.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are you comfortable moving in the current housing market?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If your market is hot, your home may sell quickly and for top dollar, but the home you buy will also be more expensive. If your market is slow, finding a buyer may take longer, but you\u2019ll have more selection and better pricing as you seek your new home. Ask your real estate professional what they see happening locally.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are interest rates attractive?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Low rates help you buy \u201cmore\u201d home, and also make it easier to find a buyer for your current place.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is the effort and cost of maintaining your current home becoming difficult to manage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Boise Realtor, Cristina Pescaru, can help you decide whether a smaller house, condo, or rental would be appropriate.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-411\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cristina-pescaru-boise-realtor.jpg\" alt=\"Cristina Pescaru Boise Realtor\" width=\"130\" height=\"141\" \/>Contact Boise Realtor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/cristina-prescaru-boise-realtor.html\">Cristina Pescaru<\/a>, to find your Boise, Idaho home.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pledge to Clients:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Experience * Loyalty * Commitment * Care<\/p>\n<p>Website:\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/\">FindYourHomeinBoise.com<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FindYourHomeinBoise\/\">facebook.com\/FindYourHomeinBoise<br \/>\n<\/a>Twitter: \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FindHomeinBoise\"> twitter.com\/FindHomeinBoise<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boise Realtor,\u00a0Cristina Pescaru, Helps With Questions To Think About ~ Should I Sell My Home Boise Realtor, Cristina Pescaru provides questions for you to ask yourself when you are thinking about selling your home.\u00a0 Are you ready for a home that is larger or possibly considering downsizing?\u00a0 Do you want a home in a more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boise-real-estate","category-home-buyerseller-tidbits"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":435,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409\/revisions\/435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.findyourhomeinboise.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
