Is it time to start thinking about downsizing
to housing that may fit your needs better?
Downsizing to a smaller home may be an event
that some look forward too, while others dread! Most of us know that downsizing
will be in the cards eventually as we age. This can seem like a daunting task
to undertake, but with careful planning, moving to a new (and smaller) home can
be simple.
Some reasons to downsize to a smaller home are,
·
Having and empty nest-
no need for all the extra room
·
The big house is hard
to clean and get around
·
The expenses of upkeep
are just too much
The
first thing you want to do (even if you do not plan on moving for another year)
is Rick Giese (SRES) your local senior
real estate professional. He can meet with you to discuss your options and help
you decide what type of move may be best for you. If you are still active, but
want to plan for your later years, you may want to look into a continuing care
retirement community. There are many options available in the Macomb County
area, or maybe even close to where you living now? So that you can continue shopping at the same
stores, church, doctors. Rick can help you weigh your wants and your
needs and provide you with the information needed to make an informed
decision.
Next Rick can help you prepare your current
home for the market. Planning ahead will decrease future stress! Rick Giese
with his 27 years of experience can tell you what needs to be done to your
current home in order to get the best price, in the shortest amount of time. Rick
can also give you tips for getting rid of clutter, or phone numbers of
companies that can help. Not only will your home show better, but you will have
a head start on packing your belongings!
Now that you have a plan for preparing your
home for the market …started scaling back on some of your unwanted or needed belongings
….and have decided on the type of housing that best fits your needs, you are
well on your way to planning for a successful downsizing experience.
With less space to
maintain, there is more time for fun activities. No matter what type of housing
you choose, you will find that less really can be more, and that downsizing can
be something to look forward to!
