Section 1 of 8 Β· Ownership & Mortgage

Let's start with your current home situation

Your equity position and mortgage rate are two of the most important financial inputs in your readiness score.

Section 2 of 8 Β· Life Transitions

What's changing in your life?

Life transitions are the #1 predictor of a move β€” far more powerful than interest rates or market timing. Select everything relevant to the past 24 months.

Research insight: Studies consistently show that marriage, divorce, new children, retirement, and job changes explain the majority of housing moves. Market conditions matter β€” but your life circumstances matter more.
Section 3 of 8 Β· Home Fit & Emotional Readiness

How does your current home really feel?

Honest reflection here is essential. Many homeowners stay far longer than makes sense β€” not because their home still serves them, but because of what they've already invested in it.

The sunk cost fallacy: The tendency to stay because of what you've already paid β€” rather than whether it serves your future β€” is one of the most common and costly mistakes in housing decisions. Past investment should not determine future choices.

Section 4 of 8 Β· Financial Readiness

Can you afford the move?

Selling involves transaction costs, moving expenses, and buying again β€” often at a higher rate. Let's assess your financial position honestly.

Section 5 of 8 Β· Market & Long-Term Wealth

What does your market look like?

Local market conditions and long-term wealth strategy play a meaningful role in whether now is the right time to act.

Section 6 of 8 Β· Community & Lifestyle

What matters to you about where you live?

Schools, community, commute, and lifestyle alignment are often the deciding factors that no spreadsheet captures.

Section 7 of 8 Β· Urgency & Intent

How serious are you about moving?

Understanding your timeline and motivations helps us weight urgency appropriately in your score.
