Would You Buy Your Home Again Today?

by Jennifer Ellison

It’s a question most homeowners don’t ask themselves until the for sale sign is already in the yard:
“Would I re-buy my home as it is today?”

At first, it sounds simple. But when you really think about it, this one question opens the door to smart planning — whether you’re considering selling soon or just wanting to make sure your home still fits your lifestyle.

Why It Matters to Ask Early

Life changes. Families grow, kids leave for college, jobs shift, and what felt perfect five years ago may not feel the same today. By checking in with your home now, you can get ahead of the curve instead of feeling rushed later.

Here are three key things to consider:

✔️ Does your home still meet your needs?
Think about space, location, and layout. Do you have enough room, or too much? Is your commute working for you? Does the home still fit your lifestyle?

✔️ Would your home compete in today’s market?
Buyers are looking for certain features — updated kitchens, energy efficiency, smart storage. Take a fresh look at your home: would it stand out or fall behind if listed today?

✔️ Does it still feel like “the one”?
Sometimes it’s less about square footage and more about how the space makes you feel. Do you still love walking in the door, or are you already imagining something new?

Why This Matters Whether You’re Selling Soon or Not

Even if you’re not planning a move tomorrow, knowing the answers can help you:

  • Prioritize updates that add value

  • Budget for future renovations

  • Decide if it’s time to start preparing for your next chapter

And if you are thinking about selling soon? This exercise puts you in the buyer’s mindset, which is one of the smartest ways to position your home for success.
