Moving? 5 Stressful Situations Made Better By Temporary Housing
ShareMoving is a challenge for most homeowners. Some logistical situations, though, make it even harder to navigate the transition between this home and your new one. These added stressors vary, but many of them can be aided with one solution: temporary housing.
What type of logistical problems can temporary housing solve within your move? Here are five of the most common.
1. Not Finding a New House
When you must sell a home fast or move unexpectedly, you may not have time to find a new house. This presents a daunting challenge when you agree to sell your old place. You generally must find a new house and commit to it in a hurry before you're kicked out of your old one. The danger is that you won't find just the right house under these stressful conditions. Instead, by using temporary housing, you buy time to get your home purchase right.
2. Not Being Completely Sure
Because moving to a new location is a big commitment, you may worry about whether or not you'll be happy in your new abode. You might not know enough to choose the right neighborhood or home. Or a new job in this new area may not work out. So, buying a house can be a financial drain when things may or may not be permanent. Take the pressure off your move by using temporary housing as a buffer so you make the best choices.
3. The New House Needing Work
Have you bought a fixer-upper? If so, your best way to handle large-scale construction is to live somewhere else until the work is done. Temporary housing is perfect for remodel projects, as it provides a stable home that's furnished and has all the amenities to continue daily life for you and your family.
4. Not Having Furnishings to Start
Some people may not have the furnishings needed for their new house right away. You may be returning from a long stint overseas, scaling up your living space, or have simply sold many of your large furnishings rather than pay to transport them. The reasons for an under-furnished move are many, but the solution is simple: use furnished housing until you're ready to set up a fully-functional house.
5. A House Falling Through
If you found the right new house, it can still go wrong before closing. Home sales fall through on occasion, so you need a backup plan if you can't move into a newly purchased home right away. That backup plan should be temporary housing, as this is convenient and affordable as a stop-gap option.
