💭We Weren’t Planning on This, But…”

Moving is rarely part of the plan… until suddenly it is.
One day you’re settled, and the next you’re on Zillow at midnight whispering,
“We weren’t planning on this, but…” 👀🏡

➡️Life shifts. Jobs change. Families grow. Relationships evolve. And sometimes your home needs to catch up. 

In California, people are feeling these shifts a lot — and the numbers totally back it up.

Here are a few of the biggest reasons locals are packing boxes (or at least thinking about it):


1. Housing Costs Are… A Lot 😅

According to a UCI survey, 51% of OC residents have considered moving, and 78% say housing costs are a major reason.
💡No shocker here — between rent jumps and rising home prices, plenty of people are asking themselves, “Do we stay, upgrade, or find something that makes sense?”


2. New Life Chapters Are Calling 📦✨

In California overall, family-related reasons account for about 26% of moves, per U.S. Census data.
For OC and LA, that looks like:
👶 Growing families needing more space
🎓 Empty nesters wanting less space
❤️ Relationship changes
🌅 New lifestyle goals

In other words… life is life-ing, and people want a home that matches the moment.


3. Work & Remote Life Are Shaking Things Up 💻🌴

Nationally, job-related moves are around 17–30%, depending on the study.
Locally, we see a lot of:

  • “My employer went hybrid, and now I need a home office” 🏦

  • “My commute makes me want to cry, please help” 🚗

  • “I can finally live farther out and still work from home” 🤦‍♀️

Bottom line: careers change → housing needs change.


Here’s the funny part:

No one moves “just because.”
There’s always a story.
✨A nudge.
💫A shift.
🌟A moment.

And if you’re finding yourself thinking:
“We weren’t planning on this, but…”
You’re in good company — especially here in California.😎

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, staying local, or eyeing a whole new ZIP code, we’re here to help you make the move feel less overwhelming and a lot more empowering. 🤝

💰 Stop clipping coupons — start building equity 🏡
Let’s talk real numbers. One of the smartest financial moves you can make isn’t cutting back on coffee runs or chasing every coupon — it’s locking in your biggest monthly expense: your housing payment. Whether that’s rent or a mortgage, this payment shapes your entire financial future. So when people ask, “Is it a good time to buy?” the better question is: What am I paying for, and what am I getting back?
For example, if you’re paying $3,000 a month in rent, that’s $36,000 a year with zero return. If you owned a home instead, even if your total monthly cost increased to about $4,000–$4,500 including taxes and insurance, part of every payment would go toward your principal — meaning you’re building your own equity instead of someone else’s. Plus, homeowners can often deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, which can make that “extra” thousand a month much closer to what you’re already paying once you factor in the tax benefits. Always check with your CPA, but that difference is often smaller than people realize.
The truth is, people work hard to save a few dollars here and there — skipping the latte, hunting for deals — but the real financial power lies in securing your housing cost. When you own, you gain stability, tax advantages, and the chance to grow long-term wealth. That’s the kind of smart math that actually changes your future.
