If there is one thing I have learned over the years it is that there is no one size fits all housing solution for any age group. There isn’t a retirement age either. We used to assume that when we reach a certain age we will retire and want a smaller house. I have had clients who wanted to move into larger houses during retirement. They wanted space for family gatherings and for children and grandchildren.
You don’t have to move just because you are retiring. The right time to move is when your home no longer suits your needs. You can decide that all on your own, don’t let anyone talk you into moving before you are ready.
Downsizing is an option for those who can afford it. I started downsizing a few years ago because we will move someday.
Call or write for a free consultation if you are interested in downsizing in the next year or so.
