Pros and Cons of Moving Into a Bigger House

by | Jul 15, 2022 | Features

Moving into a bigger house brings a number of benefits, but several drawbacks as well. The most obvious benefit is it gives everybody more space, including pets. A bigger house also provides greater storage area. Furthermore, you can can use an extra room to invite out-of-town guests to stay, or use it for a home office or personal gym. Extra yard space is another advantage. On the downside, costs are higher for a larger house, not just the mortgage, but also insurance, utilities and property taxes. Also, more time needs to be spent maintaining the home. Finally, the bigger house will most likely be farther from the city center and possibly more distant from work and school.

Key Takeaways:

  • You can invite out-of-town guests to stay in a spare room, and your children can invite friends for a sleepover.
  • A bigger house will likely have a larger backyard where you can put a swing set, hot tub, or garden.
  • A bigger house is more likely to be far from the center city, your workplace, and your children’s schools.

“Needless to say, the greatest advantage of moving into a big house is the extra living space a person will get and can use for various purposes.”
