you read through the next three chapters.
1. What is your main motivation for moving? (You will likely have more than one, but focus on your primary reason.)
• To be closer to family? • To be free of homeownership burdens?
• To be closer to a city or town so you can walk to basic amenities, as well as social activities, and not have to worry about driving? • To stay in the same area but in a smaller, more manageable home? • To move to a location with more favorable weather conditions (for example, moving from a snow-prone area to a warmer location) • To make new friends around your age who share similar interests and life experiences? • Flexibility, so you can visit family or travel or relocate easily without worrying about maintaining a large home? 2. Do you want to find your “forever” home, or just a home for the next few years?
3. How much independence do you want and need?
4. What specific features are you looking for in a new home?
• One-story living, free of stairs? • A particular number of bedrooms (i.e., the ability for family and other guests to visit and stay with you)? • A low-maintenance yard (or no yard)? • A garage?
