What To Do When The House Is Too Small

Need more space than is in your current home?

Alternative Solution: Consider remodeling existing home rather than buying a new one. A more open-plan style may provide more living space. Consider enlarging, or adding, a bedroom or bathroom.

Pros: Remodeling should improve the resale value of your home. It will also save you agent’s fees and other costs associated with moving. You may need to use your home equity to finance the project.

Cons: Remodeling may mean an increase in the property taxes you pay. There is also the danger of over-improving your home. Some people fail to recoup their investment when they come to sell.
