The average person will move 11 times in their lifetime, according to the US Census Bureau. There are various reasons why people move, ranging from wanting to live in a better climate to moving to be nearer to loved ones to getting a new job.
Making a move is rarely an easy endeavor, with many people believing that it is one of the most stressful events in life. This stress is only increased when it is a whole family that is relocating, especially if an adult has to start a new job at the same time. Even so, around 43 million Americans move every year and there are some helpful tips to make the process a little simpler.
One good tip is to introduce the idea of moving to your family gradually. Relocation is a decision that needs to be talked over with everyone in the family, including younger children. Although younger children might not fully comprehend what is being discussed, those who are included in discussions about amenities they would like in a new neighborhood and looking at possible new homes tend to feel more in control and empowered than those who are not.
You should do careful research on any potential new neighborhoods you are considering. Finding a new home is not just about finding a property that will fit your family and their needs but also about finding an appropriate and desirable neighborhood and community.
