Commitment and Neighborhoods

You have to take into consideration your commitment level. If you can’t commit for at least 3 years, you could skip buying. If you have doubts about the place, if you are moving for a new job, renting might be the better option, since your job might not work out or the place might not be the one for you. If you feel in your gut that a possible future relocation could take place, don’t buy a property. It’s not worth the investment.

Neighborhoods also are important and everything that they can offer from the safety level to traffic patterns, amenities, walkability, and more. If you can’t go to the city you will be moving to or don’t have a reliable source, then renting is better. By renting, you can explore the new place and if it feels right, you might consider even buying your future home there.

The Pressure of Moving and Goals

Think twice if you can handle all of the emotions and stress during moving away and saying goodbye to everything you know plus the stress of purchasing a house. If you can’t handle it all, simply rent for the time being. However, if you have lots of time on your hands and you have yourself together, you can think of buying. It all comes down to the right timing in your life at this moment. You also have to think about your goals in life. Where are you in life right now? Are you paying off debt, do you have kids to settle in a new school, can you provide a big enough deposit for a property and many more questions.

Simply open up a notepad and scribble all of the pros and cons of buying and renting for your specific case. You might even think of questions and case scenarios you can’t think of when asked on the spot. If you are looking for a long-term commitment to a place and you are tired of renting and moving countless times, buying is your option. Each move is a strain on your mental health and bank account, so buying can give you stability.

On the other hand, buying and getting a mortgage is a big commitment, so you have to be financially ready for it. Whatever you decide, it will be right for your stage in life right now. So, be wise. And in the meantime, you can contact the movers from the H2H Movers team to help you with moving your belongings with care.
