9 of the Most Common Reasons Why People Move

Moving is one of the most stressful life events to go through. From the long hours of packing to worrying about the expenses that come along with moving, there is a reason why many people avoid relocation at all costs. However, moving is simply a part of life and on any given day there are likely thousands of moves taking place across the nation. Statistics point to the fact that over 35 million Americans move to a new home each year. As overwhelming and daunting as moving can be, those numbers highlight the fact that people are moving every single day for a number of different reasons.

The rate at which people relocate is fascinating, which prompted us to do a bit of digging into what actually makes people pack up and move. The following are some of the most common reasons that we have found as to why people move:

  1. Finally buying a home after renting for years
  2. Job changes – either in a new location or placing someone in a different financial situation
  3. Growing families requiring a larger home
  4. Aging seniors looking to downsize their home
  5. Financial difficulties forcing families to move into a less expensive neighborhood
  6. Personal relationships changing and thus requiring a move
  7. Young couples having children and moving into a better school district
  8. Attempting to start fresh and need a change
  9. Disagreements with neighbors that reach a boiling point

While some of the above reasons are far more common than others, it seems as though major life events are typically what triggers a relocation.
