The Homeowner's Dilemma: Remodel or Move?

The Case for Staying & Remodeling

  • Emotional Connection: Remain in the home and community you love.
  • Financial Advantage: Avoid 8-16% in transaction costs and, crucially, keep your low-interest mortgage rate.
  • Total Customization: Create a space perfectly tailored to your family's needs and aesthetic vision.

The Case for Moving

  • Location is Key: The only solution for needing a larger yard, shorter commute, or different school district.
  • Structural Limitations: The more practical path if desired changes are unfeasible for your current property.

Beyond ROI: The "Joy Score"

While financial return is important, the true value of an addition is the increase in daily happiness. The NAR's "Joy Score" quantifies this emotional return on a scale of 1-10. Certain projects deliver a profound, measurable sense of joy.
