What’s the harm in moving frequently?
Experts say that boredom is the second biggest reason for moving to a new home, surpassed only by retirement. On average, people move 4 to 5 times in their lifetime; however, some are moving more frequently driven simply by a desire for a change of scenery.
Unfortunately, frequent moving is destructive to wealth, with our analysts estimating that moving costs and transactions can add up to as much as $20,000.
Though it’s certainly human nature to desire change, arguably, renovations can do an equally satisfying job of refreshing your landscape. Moreover, it will save you money and could add valuable equity to your home.
