‘Why Are They Selling?’ – Five Reasons Why People Want to Move
Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of people move successfully and encountered dozens of reasons why people want to sell up and move home. And one of the most frequently asked questions we get asked by potential buyers is, ‘Why are they selling?’ Below are five of the most common reasons.
New Relationships – Whether it’s due to a divorce or separation or a couple moving in together, romance (or lack of it!) is often the spark behind a desire for a new home.
More Space – Growing families need more room, and upsizing is a perennial reason people seek new places to call home.
Less Space – The opposite of the above. The kids are now adults, and the house is bigger than it needs to be. Downsizers are an essential part of the moving landscape locally.
New Job – People relocating for work reasons make up a sizeable section of the selling market at any one time. The pandemic has seen many people reconsider where they need to live as working from home becomes more popular.
Super Schools – A big motivation for families that sell is to buy within the catchment areas of the best local schools.
