In the past, if a job wanted you to relocate, the big decisions involved schools, crime, climate, compensation and things of that sort. However, in the market that a lot of the country is in currently, the salability of your current home and of the home you’re relocating to, is just as important.

If you accept that relocation and the package does not include the company “buying you out” of your current home, things can get rough if your home stays on the market for a longer period of time (which is happening a lot throughout the country). In addition, if your relocation is going to be short term, what happens if you can’t quickly sell the new home your moving to once the company decides to move you again?

Make sure that you add the salability of all the homes involved (both current and future) into the mix for consideration when you are offered relocation opportunity.
