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?
5. What sort of lifestyle do you hope or expect to lead?
• To continue to live similarly to how you’re spending your time now? • To have access to a wide variety of extracurricular activities and hobbies? • To have someone to take care of certain needs for you?
Key Takeaway:
Once you’ve decided to sell your home, the next big question is, where should you move? The options are essentially 1) a smaller single-family house or townhouse; 2) a condo or apartment; or 3) community living. The right choice for you will be based on a variety of factors, including your motivation for moving, whether you expect this to be your final home, your desired level of independence, the features you’re looking for, and the type of lifestyle you want to enjoy.
