According to the National Association of Realtors recent “Focus on Sellers” survey, sellers have many reasons for moving, and these reasons vary by age. Selling a home because it was too small was the motivation for 21 percent of recent sellers. In fact, wanting to trade up to a larger home was the most frequently cited reason among all sellers, but especially for younger sellers (46 percent). Job relocation was the second most cited reason for selling a home — cited by 15 percent of survey respondents, but a decrease from the 21 percent of sellers who reported this reason in the previous profile. Job relocation was the most frequent reason for selling a home among those aged 45 to 54. Among those sellers 55 years old or older, moving closer to friends and family was the chief reason for selling a home, and it becomes an even more commonly cited reason among older groups.
