Full-Time Office Return? How to Handle Your Home Sale and Long Commute

Full-Time Office Return? How to Handle Your Home Sale and Long Commute

The shift back to full-time, in-person office work has left many homeowners grappling with long commutes they didn’t anticipate. For some, the dream of suburban or rural living is now overshadowed by hours spent on the road or in transit.

If you’re finding yourself in this situation, take a deep breath—there’s no need to panic. Selling your home and relocating closer to your job is a big decision, and it’s important to approach it thoughtfully. Let’s explore how to handle this challenge effectively and plan your next steps with confidence.

1. Don’t Panic—Evaluate Your Situation First

Before rushing into a decision, take time to assess your unique circumstances. Here are a few key questions to ask yourself:

• Is the commute permanent or temporary? Some companies are experimenting with hybrid models or flexible schedules.
• What are the financial implications of selling now? Understanding your home’s equity and current market value is essential.
• Are there alternative solutions? Renting closer to the office or considering co-working spaces near your home could be options.

The first step is to gain clarity about your situation and the options available to you.

2. Understand Your Home’s Value with an Equity Report

Selling your home involves more than just putting it on the market—you need to know what you’re working with financially. This is where a personalized equity report comes in.

An equity report will give you:

• Your home’s current market value based on recent sales and trends.
• An estimate of what you’ll walk away with after selling, factoring in outstanding mortgage balances and closing costs.
• A clear financial picture to help you determine if selling now aligns with your goals.
