THE "EXCLUSION" (WHAT GOES/WHAT STAYS)
SENIORS: DECIDING WHEN TO SELL
One of the most difficult decisions to make is that which means leaving the home where you've raised your family, entertained your friends, decorated with your own personal style, created your garden, and established neighborhood relationships. While many are content to remain in their homes throughout their retirement years, sometimes the appeal of streamlining and living a simpler life motivates us to sell. Some of the things to consider when determining the best strategy for you are:-
Is the upkeep of your home becoming too challenging?
-
Painting, reroofing, general maintenance, etc., are costly and it is often difficult to find qualified people to do the work.
-
Is the size of the house manageable?
-
Taxes, utilities, maintenance on space you no longer use or need can be wasteful of your resources.
-
Too many stairs!
-
Cashing in on the substantial equity you've probably built can provide a good deal of security.
-
Friends have moved; neighbors have changed. Sometimes remaining in your home after your neighbors have changed (e.g., your area has a new influx of young families) gives you less opportunity for socialization than before.
Moving is a complex and difficult decision to make. If you would like a complimentary market analysis of the value of your property so that you can make a more informed decision from a financial perspective, please email info@PinnacleHouses.com or call us at 781-237-5000.
