SPONSORED POST: Mary Beth and Jim Grimm are real estate agents at Pinnacle Residential Properties. Their area of expertise is working as a team to serve clients whose housing needs have changed over the years.
Significant changes such as moving are always tricky, regardless of age. If you are over the age of 50, your needs aren’t the same as a first-time homebuyer or seller. You might be looking to retire, downsize, or join an active adult community. There are a lot of challenges in making such a change.
The sale of a home can be very emotional and there is a lot to consider:
Life stage needs and wants—Factors such as favorite leisure activities, preferences for community, health, mobility, and amenities, are key considerations in what your next housing needs will be.
Housing choices—The 50+ age demographic want to stay close to their current home. Along with retirement, top reasons for selling are downsizing, and to be closer to family and friends. About 20% of this demographic are interested in active adult communities, which offer a range of services, social events, amenities, and life-style activities.
Keep it/toss it—One of the biggest challenges when making such a move is decluttering your home. This can become very emotional, but it can be made easier by creating a plan. Start with the easy stuff; schedule a regular time each day/week to work on the task; spend time to determine what is important to keep; don’t be a storage unit for others; and most importantly do not be afraid to ask for help.
The main focus of Mary Beth and Jim Grimm of Pinnacle Residential Properties is working with sellers and buyers in the 50+ age demographic. Mary Beth and Jim have the experience and expertise to meet the housing needs of their clients, which requires an expert understanding of their lifestyle and financial needs.
