WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE: JOB AND AGE-RELATED REASON?

Every single day, a majority of people are waking up and going to work. The Job is keeping us awake and giving us that strong support that has each working family. That’s why if you find a good job- you can afford to move to a better house!

Job-Related Reasons

Job-related factors come third place in the list of most common reasons to relocate to a new house. About 20% of all home movers move because of:

New job. Moving for a new job is one of the most common reasons to move to a new place. When presented with the opportunity for an advancement career-wise, higher income, stable job, better work conditions, most people are quite enthusiastic to move as far away as necessary (be it across the country or even the globe) to seize that opportunity. Also, it is very common for people who cannot find a suitable job in their current neighbourhood or feel confined by the lack of possibilities in their fields of expertise to relocate to a different city or province searching for better employment chances;

Corporate transfers. Employees can be sent to a different place with a particular long-term assignment or can be required to move to a different branch of the company for whom they are working. Companies may move to another city or province or a foreign country in an attempt to improve their business opportunities or cut down aloft costs.

In all such cases, the employees (together with their families) need to move as well to the place where the company is moving to or to the city where they have been sent – to keep their current jobs;

Relocating closer to work. Long drives and heavy traffic can also present an excellent reason for moving. Many people choose to move closer to their places of work to save some time, money, and stress on the way to and from work.

Relocating After Retirement

Retirement (as well as aging, in general) is another significant reason to move. As people age, their needs and inclinations change and they often decide to move to a new house that is better suited to their new needs:

Relocating for a relaxing retirement. Most seniors wish to live in an area that is safe and peaceful, with mild year-round climate, low living cost, and easy access to various local facilities. As soon as they find a suitable place – friendly community, beautiful weather, low crime rate, cheap house options, good healthcare, nice green areas, plenty of local amenities – they leave their current houses and relocate to their chosen retirement destination to enjoy the remainder of their lives in peace and happiness;

Relocating to a smaller house. Often, older adults downsize to smaller houses that do not need as much attention and expenses. It is much safer, cheaper, and more convenient to live in a small, single-story house than in a large multi-story one;

Moving to assisted living. A lot of seniors need special medical care and constant help in their daily lives. Their best option is to move into retirement areas or nursing homes for the elderly where they’ll be well taken care of by skillful experts (especially if they have no kids or if their kids are not in a position to take care of them);

Moving closer to children. When possible, relocating closer to loved ones benefits both the seniors and their kids – the younger ones can take good care of their aging parents, and the elderly can help in the raising of their grandchildren. As already stated, it’s pretty common to move near family as it can work miracles for people’s physical and emotional well-being.

It is exactly the need to make sure one’s well-being that establishes another good reason to move.
