One of the more common questions that pops up for homeowners, is whether one should expand the current home with a room addition or to place the home up for sale and buy a larger, newer home. Generally, the reason for this question coming up is because your family is either growing in number, you have acquired too much stuff that takes up space, or you feel like you need more space to enjoy the home you have.

In this article, we will go over several reasons as to why it is better to invest in a room addition and expand than it is to buy a newer, larger home.
