Determine why you need more space—whether it’s for a growing family, a home office, or more luxurious amenities.

Review your financial status to ensure you can afford a larger mortgage, increased utilities, and property taxes.

Look for areas that offer the type of larger homes you desire and check their property values, community resources, and proximity to work/school.

Strategize the sale of your existing home to align with the purchase timing of your new, larger home.
