Movin' on Up, While Keeping Costs Down
​Whether you're making the leap from a condo to a house or upgrading from a smaller home to a bigger one, you'll no doubt face higher monthly costs. They include potentially higher mortgage payments, property taxes, utility bills, and even home insurance premiums. So how can you balance some of the costs of upsizing?
Maximize your home sale. Consider carefully all the advice and tips from your real estate sales representative on repairs, cleaning, painting, staging, pricing, and effective marketing strategies.
Reconsider location. If your family has outgrown your current home but larger properties in your current neighbourhood are beyond your budget, broaden your search to include other areas. You may find a location that offers the space you need without the higher price tag.
