On the Move - 5 Indications That  It's Time to Upsize Your Home 

A growing family is one of the most common indications that you must move to a bigger and better dwelling. You might have started as a single when you bought your present place but with life transitions like getting married and having children, you might soon realise that you need to increase space to move about more easily.  

If you have a new family member or two on the way, consider adding another bedroom or two. Though sharing rooms is fine during their younger days, children need their own space as they grow up. Adding an extra bathroom to your place too should be given some thought. Otherwise, you might face some busy episodes in the mornings with everyone wanting to use the bathroom. 

If your parents or in-laws are hoping to move in, you need to make some additional space to accommodate their items and make the environment more elderly-friendly for them. 

Another common reason for people to move to another place is due to professional commitments. If your company asks you to relocate to another region and offers perks, too, you will be tempted to grab that opportunity and upgrade your living conditions. People also relocate themselves to move closer to the place where they are employed for convenience. With many high rises being set up in the densely populated city, there are ample apartments for sale in Colombo today. Therefore, employees can commute to their offices more quickly using public transportation methods or office transport. 

Post-pandemic, people are concerned about having a work-friendly setting right in their homes. Hence, they look for living spaces that offer workspaces. Since more and more remote working opportunities and part-time offers are available, people tend to take advantage of those to make some cash in the comfort of their homes. 

One of the benefits of working from home is that you can prioritise other needs when you choose your location. For example, you can choose a house or an apartment that is closer to your children's school or a supermarket. This way you will not need to pay any additional costs for school transport or venture far to get groceries.  

Is clutter littering your lounge and rooms? Do you find yourself in a constant battle trying to squeeze your belongings into cupboards and kitchen countertops? You might even be faced with issues of having to move some items around to reach others. All these signs indicate that you need some extra space to live a more comfortable and orderly life. In such instances, moving to a larger space is also less complicated than downsizing since you will not be faced with choices like what to let go and include in your home.

As you develop experience and qualifications in your profession, you will get opportunities to scale the ladder and earn a good paycheck. Hence, you might have saved enough to finally buy the house of your dreams in a prosperous neighbourhood. If you have affordable luxury living in mind, why not approach a real estate developer like Prime Residencies? The company offers luxury apartments with modern amenities and facilities in Colombo and the suburbs.  

Since you can afford some of the things that will make your life more comfortable, you naturally feel the inclination to pamper yourself. You can invest in creating a home cinema viewing experience for you and your significant other instead of visiting the cinema daily to watch blockbusters on the widescreen. Animal lovers would get the opportunity to keep a pet dog in a bigger home and if you possess a green thumb, you will have the pleasure of engaging in some gardening.
