In today’s market, many homeowners hesitate to move, especially if they are holding onto a low mortgage rate. Yet life has a way of guiding us forward, regardless of what interest rates are doing. And that is natural. Change often begins with what matters most.
Most Motivators for Moving Today Are Non-Financial
While interest rates influence the decision to sell, they are rarely the primary factor. Recent research shows that 79 percent of homeowners considering a move today are motivated by non-financial reasons. These may include a job relocation, a growing family, a change in health needs, or the desire to be closer to loved ones.
In many situations, a move is driven by lifestyle, not economics. The motivators are human. They reflect priorities like comfort, connection, and overall quality of life.
When Your Home No Longer Serves Your Needs
Even if letting go of a low rate feels like a compromise, remaining in a home that no longer fits can hold you back from the ease and functionality you deserve. Whether you need more space, improved accessibility, or simply a fresh environment, your home should support the way you live today, not the way you lived years ago.
