Bedroom Addition vs. Buying a Larger Home: Which Is Better?

There’s no doubt that changes will occur throughout your life. Whether you’ve recently started a family, welcomed a new member to your family, or have experienced another major life event, you may find that the existing space inside your home just doesn’t serve you as well as it once did. When this happens, you have two options: You could sell your home and buy a larger one or you could opt for a bedroom addition to your existing home. But which of these options is the wiser of the two?

At Legacy Design Build Remodeling, we believe investing in a bedroom addition trumps buying a larger home in many aspects. Choosing the former allows you to:

Maintain Your Sentimental Attachment to Your Current Home

If you’ve been living in your home for a lengthy time now, it’s likely that you and your family have created lasting memories there. Choosing to sell your home to buy a larger one means having to leave the space where you’ve had so many significant experiences. A bedroom addition allows you to not only keep the home where you’ve made those memories but also to continue making new ones.

Avoid the Madness of the Housing Market

Purchasing a new home can be quite challenging. Add in having to sell your current home and you have a recipe for immense stress. Investing in a bedroom addition, rather than buying a larger home, allows you to steer clear of the mayhem of the housing market. Additionally, location is a large factor during the homebuying process. If your existing home is already in a favorable part of town, it’s probably worth staying put.

What’s more, a bedroom addition, when performed right, can help you maximize the return on your investment in your home and add to its resale value.

Truly Make Your Home Your Own

Many homeowners choose to construct an additional bedroom over buying a larger house simply for the customizability. A bedroom addition can be crafted to suit virtually any vision, especially when you’ve entrusted the project to a design-build contractor like Legacy Design Build Remodeling. Do you find your existing master bedroom to be a poor representation of what a master bedroom should be? A bedroom addition allows you to recreate your master bedroom to better suit your vision. Do you have hopes of one day picking up that hobby you’ve long put aside? A bedroom addition can be designed as a dedicated space for doing what you love most.
