Is it the right time to sell?
Downsizing can offer numerous benefits, including lower maintenance, reduced expenses, and a more suitable living environment. Consider factors like your current home’s condition, maintenance costs, and your future housing needs. Compare the costs and benefits of selling your home and buying another versus remodeling your current home to meet your needs.
Contact Carla Stevens, your 55+ home coach REALTOR® in the Iowa Corridor, for expert guidance on the selling process and choosing the right option for the next chapter of your life.
Selling and buying a new home for aging in place.
Selling your current home and buying another that allows you to age in place can provide a fresh start with features like single-level living and accessibility modifications. It’s important to choose a home that meets your current and future needs to avoid the need for future moves. There are many great options out there like 55+ communities and single-level independent living.
Contact Carla Stevens, your 55+ home coach REALTOR® in the Iowa Corridor, to explore available homes that meet your aging-in-place criteria and get top dollar for your home sale. Carla also has a custom checklist and can help you plan a new home build suitable for aging in place in the community of your choice.
Remodel your current home for aging in place.
Consider remodeling your current home to make it more suitable for aging in place, including adding accessibility features and updating outdated systems. Be mindful of the costs and challenges of remodeling, including potential disruption and long-term maintenance expenses. Additionally, once you start remodeling, you may face the added expense of bringing the entire house up to code.
Contact Carla Stevens, your 55+ home coach REALTOR® in the Iowa Corridor, for advice on whether remodeling or selling and buying another home is the best option for you.
