Inventory’s tight and rates are weird, should you pour money into your current place or pull the trigger on a move? Tabitha breaks down the emotional, financial, and market factors so you can decide with confidence.

In this episode of Keeping Tabs, Zack and Tabitha dig into the question so many homeowners are asking: renovate or relocate? We cover what updates actually return value (kitchens and baths), when “must-fix” repairs matter even if you plan to sell, how HELOCs/financing can shape your decision, and why location often beats square footage, especially around Montgomery, Delaware, and Bucks Counties. Plus, Tabitha’s “Rule of Three” and how a great agent helps you price, plan, and prioritize.

🎓 You’ll learn:

- When renovations (kitchens/baths/floors/paint/landscaping) make sense—and when they don’t

- The difference between cosmetic upgrades vs. must-do repairs (roof/HVAC/windows)

- How rates, HELOCs, and contractor availability affect timing

- The two common relocation drivers: space (upsizing) and simplicity (downsizing)

- Why commute, schools, and daily convenience often trump house size

- How local conditions vary by county—and what that means for your move
