UPSIZING YOUR HOME AND LIFESTYLE AT EVERLEIGH
From growing families to changing lifestyles, the desire to upsize your home is a natural shift as your needs change over time.
Everleigh has become a very attractive option for those looking to upsize, with many people already living in our community or from other regions upgrading here due to the lifestyle on offer and its greater affordability in comparison to surrounding cities.
Upsizing at Everleigh isn't just about increasing your home's physical space, it's also about enhancing your overall quality of life within a connected community, complemented by access to exceptional outdoor and lifestyle amenities.
To provide you with guidance through this transition, we spoke with Everleigh Sales Consultant Chris Reid, who has assisted many current and future residents on this journey. Here's Chris's top tips for making the move:
Assess Your Needs, Not Just Your Wants
“Many families or individuals initially purchase homes that fit their budget and immediate needs. However, as time progresses, children grow and their needs for space and the way they would like to use it evolves,” says Chris.
“When considering upsizing, it's important to take a step back and contemplate how your needs have and will change as you enter new stages of life. A common mistake in the upsizing process is becoming overly fixated on size alone. Instead, the initial focus should always link back to the specific needs your new home should fulfil.
“While we all have those dream home features, it's imperative to distinguish non-negotiables from nice-to-haves and, if there are two of you making these decisions, to ensure you’re on the same page. Whether you need an additional bedroom for your growing family or a larger outdoor space for your furry companions, taking the time to create a list of must-haves will narrow down your options and keep you focused on what truly matters."
Know Your Financial Capability
“To gauge your financial readiness, consult an independent local mortgage broker (or banker) to understand your budget and financing options. Knowing what you can comfortably afford will save you a lot of time and potential heartache later,” says Chris. If you need to sell your current home, in order to buy, reach out to a few trusted real estate agents to get an understanding of what the market is offering and the likely time it will take to sell your home.
“Once you understand your financial capacity come talk with our team to explore land and home packages that best fit your budget and needs.”
