Thinking of Upsizing in Silicon Valley

Here Is What You Need to Know Before Taking That Giant Leap Into A Bigger Space
Robert Brisbane  |  December 1, 2025

Upsizing your home in Los Altos? 🏠 Let's make sure you're ready for what’s ahead!

Upsizing is exciting, but there are hidden costs you might not expect. Here's what to keep in mind:

  • 1️⃣ More Space, More Costs: From utilities to maintenance, bigger homes often mean bigger bills! Always budget for these.
  • 2️⃣ Furniture Finesse: More room to fill means more furniture. Plan for it, or your new space might look empty.
  • 3️⃣ Increased Taxes: Bigger homes can come with higher property taxes. Research beforehand so there are no surprises.
  • 4️⃣ Renovation Realities: Want to customize your new space? Be sure to budget for updates and fixes.
  • 5️⃣ Moving Costs: Don't forget, moving costs can add up quickly!

Always plan ahead and know where each dollar will go. It’s about creating a space where heart and home align!
