THE OLDER BUYER
Today, 22 percent of our population is 55 or older and by the year 2000, this age group will have doubled. Buying and selling homes for people in this older segment has its own particular problems.
Older people have more at stake in their housing moves. Their income will increase only slightly—if at all. They can’t afford to make costly mistakes. For the retiree, the most important decision is whether to move at all. It’s not easy to leave the old neighborhood or the house filled with memories. However, houses do become too large, too costly to maintain, or require too much work. Also there is the desire for a change in lifestyle, a more comfortable climate or even the need for personal safety or care.
The biggest question of all is, “Where can I move to?” This is no longer a major roadblock. Our agents work with many older adults and have a plethora of options that were never available in the past. If solid information is needed on the subject, all it takes is to ask us.
