Pregnancy and Homeownership: All the Details
Expecting a Baby and Moving to a New House: What You Should Know
Pregnancy and homeownership are two of the most exciting events in a person’s life. It can be hard to integrate them together, but it is possible! We’ve put together all the details you need to know about being pregnant when looking for a new house. This blog post will provide guidance on how to plan your pregnancy around your home search, what kind of home you should buy (if any), and more! Designed To Move is here to ease the process of moving!
Tip #01: Planning your Pregnancy Timeframe. It’s important to plan when you would like to get pregnant before beginning the process of looking for a new home! If you’re currently happy with where you live and are considering buying, then this might be easier- but if not, it can still work out. Start by figuring out how much time (and money) it will take to move into a place that meets all of your needs while also expecting a baby. For example, is there an ideal location near family or friends who could potentially help? Is there enough room in the budget for childcare during these first few weeks after birth?
Tip #02: Buying vs Renting When Home Shopping. There are pros to everything, so in order to decide whether you want to buy a house or rent, take into account what will work best for your family.
