Stay and upgrade options
If you love your neighborhood and neighbors, consider the options that are available to you before packing your suitcases. If you are selling because you want to upgrade to a bigger home, consider upgrading your existing home first. For example, you could potentially…..
• add another bedroom or bathroom
• convert the basement or attic or both.
• add a mother-in-law by converting the garage.
• add an extension to your home (assuming you have the space to build).
• bulldoze the whole thing and start from scratch!
If you have to leave town for another job but are not sure it will work out, you could rent the place out. If you subsequently change your mind, you will have a place to come back to. However, if you are determined to have a view of the Puget Sound while having your morning coffee and toast and you live in Redmond, then you’re going to have to move.
