Is It Time To Make A Move Up?

A question we often get is, is it time to make a move up? In today's blog post we're going to answer that question.

Recently married? New baby arriving soon? Just added a new dog to the family? Aging parents moving in with you?  Whatever your reasons for needing more space The Ryan Haydar Team can help you sell your current home and find you the perfect new place.

Before making the leap to a bigger home there are a number of important considerations to talk about.  Milton and its surrounding communities are growing quickly and each sub-area within Milton has unique opportunities for your family.  Our team members have long time deep rooted connections in the town of Milton and can easily help narrow your search to the areas best suited to your needs.

Although Milton housing prices are on a quick and steady incline there are still plenty of excellent opportunities for those looking to upsize.  Our team is always on the lookout for good homes at good prices.  We offer “perfect property pairing” for our clients.  Tell us what your perfect home looks like and we will find it for you.  Because we have a long history living and working in Milton we often have insight into properties before they even hit the market, which puts you at the front of the line before everyone else.

Often we are asked if it's best to buy first or sell first?  That’s where the Ryan Haydar Team can assist by carefully calculating your unique situation and coming up with a plan that best suits you!  We listen to your needs and wishes and will weigh the pros and cons of both sides to give you the clarity and insight you need.

Milton certainly has a hot housing market right now.  Some might say it has “peaked”.  We don’t feel this is the case at all!  It is a young, vibrant town and still very actively growing.  It’s proximity to Toronto and other booming cities means more families, young professionals, new immigrants, and locals will be looking for larger homes in the future and the value of larger homes will continue to rise in the coming years as demand dictates.

When deciding to move talk to us about what you are looking for, our team can offer insigths on the pockets of Milton that offer unique advantages to you.  We know the safest schools, we can look into the academic levels of each school for you. We know what areas of Milton offer larger backyards for your new pooch and we know what homes were built with single floor living or perhaps have an in-law suite for your aging mother to get around easier.     


Remember this is a big investment, and it’s very expensive to buy and sell in the Milton market, it’s easy to get emotional and make decisions you will later regret.  Getting it right the first time is important!  Your new home will most likely be the one you stay in for a long time, so think ahead and talk to us about your long term needs.  

Consider these important questions:

  • How many kids will be in your family?
  • Do you need a guest bedroom?
  • Is there room for expansion? Is there room to add on or finish the basement or attic later on if you needed to?
  • Is there room to grow and places to play?  If you have young children you will probably visualize a home where you can see them all the time and want them close by you.  But don’t forget as they get older they will want more independence and bigger areas to play and socialise with their friends.  You will all need some room to spread your wings
  • How close are the schools, parks, doctors, and hospitals?
  • Do you want a community centre  or library close enough to walk to or is driving distance okay?
  • Maybe your aging parents don’t and having healthcare facilities within walking distance is important?
  • Is the neighbourhood right for you? Our team has eyes and ears all over Milton, and we know people in almost any of the sub-communities within town.  We can give you insight into the age of people in the area, are there many kids? A leash-free dog park close by?  Is it friendly, does the street have block parties? Will it suit your lifestyle?

#TeamHaydar is committed to guiding you through the process of selling your current home and getting you into your perfect new home.  When you choose us you will feel secure knowing you are protected from making mistakes.  You have a true professional and local expert on your side.  We consider ourselves consultants rather than sales agents because we are actively involved in much more than just sales transactions.  We’re here to help you avoid the pitfalls that can happen in hot housing markets.
