Plan Your Next Move with the Whole Family in Mind
These days, pets play a huge role in our lives, and in our home buying decisions. In fact, 71% of American households now have a pet (according to the American Pet Products Assoc.). For many buyers, that means a “perfect home” isn’t just about bedrooms or a big kitchen — it needs to work for everyone, paws included. If planning a move, keep these in mind:
- Fencing & Yard Space: Not all areas allow fences. Be sure you can build one that fits their size & energy level!
- Parks & Trails: Check out dog friendly Parks & Trails and their proximity to where you want to live.
- Cat Friendly: Pay attention to large windows & perches or see if there is an easy way to add a Catio!
- Vet Access: For emergencies or routine checkups, being near a reliable veterinarian is important!
- HOA & City Rules: Breed, size, or pet limits vary. Check first before you fall in love with your home!
When you plan ahead, your home can be a place where everyone, two-legged or four, can feel at home.
