All of us encounter major life events and they have the possibility of disrupting our lives temporarily, if not permanently. The homes we live in may have met our needs originally but due to a change in our life, it may no longer be adequate or the best fit for us, which will require a move. The decision to change one’s living situation often comes as a response to these pivotal moments, and the reasons behind such changes can be as diverse as the events themselves.

The number of things that can influence these changes is numerous. It may be the birth of a new child, or the ages of the children are getting such that you simply need more room.

Marriages generally merge two households into one. The possibilities are endless, but it could be two single people or two single parents each with children who need the right space to blend the families.

A promotion, transfer, or a new job could require a change in housing, or maybe just make it more convenient to move closer to where a person is working.

Countless numbers of people have moved as a result of health issues. It could be to get away from the altitude, or to a drier climate, or to a more rural area where life is simpler. The death of a spouse can be the impetus for the move.

Empty nesters and retirees have the freedom to make changes to their housing that will better adapt to their new lifestyle. The time may have come to seek a cozier, more manageable abode that suits the evolving needs of empty nesters. It may or may not lead them to a new city or state, but it can certainly include a different size or style home than they have currently.

These are just a few examples of how major life events can set the stage for changes in housing.
