Moving is never a simple decision and there are always multiple factors that lead people to become new homeowners. 

However, some of the most common situations below cause people in Utah to move. 

People Who No Longer Want to Rent

People who decide that they’re ready to no longer rent and own their housing are a large fraction of people who buy houses. Since most people don’t move from their parent’s house into a home that they suddenly bought, the natural progression is for people to finish up schooling, get a job, rent for a few years while saving up, and then buy a home. 

People Who Want a Larger Home

Other people simply outgrow their home. Maybe their family is expanding and they need more bedrooms. As more and more people are working from home, people are also moving into bigger houses to have more space to spread out and have designated office space. 

People Who Want to Be in a Different Area

When many people who buy houses settle into their home, they usually fall in love with the neighborhood. However, neighborhoods can change over time or these homeowners might find that their neighborhood no longer fits their needs. 

Maybe they bought a dog but are on the outskirts of an urban area, so they need a yard. Maybe a couple bought a home in a walkable area that’s close to a lot of bars and restaurants, but now they’ve had kids and want to move to an area that provides a better education. 

Maybe they’re tired of their section of Utah and need a fresh start in a new neighborhood. 

Lifestyle Shifts Cause People to Buy Houses

Whatever the exact reason for moving, many people who buy a new house tend to move because of a lifestyle change. This may be because they need to downsize, are going through a divorce, or are experiencing other significant lifestyle changes.
