As one of the top senior move managers in the local area, we help our senior clients move to new homes that are more suited to their needs. There are many seniors living in homes that are larger than what they want or need. Today, we’ll explain the questions you need to ask yourself to find out if you’re ready to move to a smaller home.
-
Do You Need to Be in a Different Area? The only constant thing in life is change, and this means that your priorities and goals change all the time, as well. Moving to a different area can help you accomplish your goals. For instance, downsizing can help you be closer to family members or grandchildren that are living in a different area. Downsizing can be a way for you to become closer to what’s important to you.
-
Have Your Children Moved Out Already? A growing family is one of the major reasons many homeowners buy big homes. However, once the children have grown up, the large home may become harder and costlier to maintain. As a senior moving expert, we encourage you to consider this topic carefully. The utility costs of maintaining a large home may not be what you want to worry about in your golden years.
-
Do You Have Significant Equity in Your Home? You may be able to sell your house, buy a smaller house in a more affordable area and have money left over that you can use for other things. If your home is in a desirable location, it may have appreciated in value. The extra money you get from the sale can help you do the things you enjoy or have always wanted to do, such as traveling or maybe enrolling in some classes.
