   7 Things to Check Before Moving Homes

   What should you check before moving homes? Pam Flitton shares seven things to consider before committing to your next property. In this solo episode of Beyond the Listing, the owner of Platinum Property Group at RE/MAX Fine Properties in Austin, Texas, draws on 23 years in real estate to discuss affordability, lifestyle and the timing of buying and selling. From monthly costs beyond the mortgage to the life you want your next home to support, Pam explains why a successful move starts before house hunting. In this episode you will learn • Identify the problem your move needs to solve. • Separate must-haves, nice-to-haves and deal breakers while allowing for future needs. • Calculate ownership and moving costs beyond the mortgage payment. • Compare locations through commute time, errands and everyday expenses. • Understand your current home’s realistic value before relying on its equity. • Plan the order of buying and selling, with time and a backup plan for delays. • Define what you want to move toward, rather than only what you want to leave. Key questions answered • Could staying put solve my problem?Pam Flitton suggests identifying the problem first. Organizing your space or changing your routine may help without moving. • Should I plan for more than the next year?Pam recommends considering work, family and financial changes over the next few years. • Do I need a complete renovation before selling?Pam recommends improvements that help the home sell rather than creating your dream home before leaving. • What should I check before an emotional purchase?Pam suggests checking whether the home fits your budget, needs, preferred location and next stage of life.
