Imagine you’re shopping for a new home and come across a listing that seems ideal. It’s in a great neighbourhood. It has all the characteristics on your “musthave” list. You can see yourself living there.

However, there are a couple of serious maintenance issues that are likely to need attention within the next year or two. For example, the roof shingles need replacing or the wiring needs to be updated.

Those fixes are going to be expensive. Does that mean you should take a pass on making an offer?

Deciding when to move can be a tough decision. If you are thinking about moving, consider the following:

Length of time living in your next home - Would you be there long enough to recoup the initial costs of moving, such as the down payment, closing fees, and moving expenses? 

Mortgage penalties – Try to align selling with when your mortgage is up for renewal to avoid a penalty, or negotiate it with your lender. You may also have the option to port your mortgage and take on a blended rate combining your old interest rate with the new one.

Your job situation – If you don’t have a secure job this could be an obstacle with a lender.

Non-monetary costs – Would you be moving mid-way through your child’s school year, or would they have to…
