The Evolution of Home: Catering to Your Family’s Needs in Today's Changing Society

The Evolution of Home.

Catering to Your Family’s Needs in Today's Changing Society.

 
 

If you are like most of us, the past year has been full of changes. We’re working from home, the kids are either partially or fully homeschooling, and of course there’s a lot more cooking going on. These moments are meant to be cherished and if you are finding yourself overly stressed or overwhelmed, you may be asking yourself. Is it time for more space?

The fact of the matter is, when we are cramped into one area we see the development of friction.

Are You Feeling the Chaotic Stress at Home?

You have Options!

What we are seeing more than ever is the need to expand our living quarters. Circumstances such as working from home, home schooling and spending more time inside in general have forced families into once sufficient but now crammed quarters.

Dad needs the computer for a Zoom meeting, the office is dominated by 3 kids fighting over a workspace while the kitchen is seeing some overtime and should we mention….. The clutter.

The Housing Market is Out of Control and Moving Right Now Might Not Be an Option.

You have probably noticed that in Metro Cleveland, the prices of homes have gone up, quality and space have been sacrificed and you might not be finding the exact space you desire. Besides, your family loves the neighborhood and uprooting everything just seems daunting and frankly, overwhelming.

According to Cleveland.com home prices have risen by 12% since this time last year and this trend is not slowing. While selling your home proves to have it’s perks, buying another home in the same area with all of the amenities you are looking for might prove to be a challenge.

But finding more space doesn’t have to be complicated.

Home additions offer up options that moving simply cannot. When you find the perfect layout to fit within your budget and lifestyle, you will find a reduction in stress levels, a new sense of well being and a reduced friction between family members.
