Baby boomers, you’re sitting on a goldmine! 💰 With 38% of U.S. real estate owned by those aged 60-78, many of you have built incredible home equity—72.7% of total real estate value, the highest since 1958. But the big question is: Is it time to cash out or hold on to your home?
For some, selling in today’s market could mean funding retirement, downsizing to a simpler lifestyle, or finally taking that dream trip. 🌴 But for others, staying put might feel more comfortable, especially with rising home prices and fewer properties on the market.
Here’s how to decide:
✨ Downsizing could free up cash and reduce maintenance, giving you more time and resources for what matters most.
✨ Staying put might make sense if your home still brings joy and stability—plus, you can tap into equity with a loan or line of credit.
✨ Safety and lifestyle are key considerations. Are you interested in adding age-friendly modifications to your current home? Or do you want to move closer to family or somewhere with better weather? How do you feel about senior housing communities? Your answers to these questions should inform your next steps!
Whether you’re ready to sell, stay, or just explore your options, I’m here to help you navigate this important decision. As an SRES®, I specialize in helping boomers like you make the best choice for your next chapter. Let’s talk! 💬💛
