Living In So Cal

If you’re a senior, and considering a move, when is the right time for the right move, or how do you now when it’s right for you?

No two of us are the same, nor is every situation the same, however there are some common situations many seniors share. Check out the list below to see some of the more typical reasons someone would decide to move,  maybe “downsizing” a living environment.  Some may appear to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, yet they’re also very real.

• House is too large, too much to take care of, you’d like less responsibility, and have more time to enjoy yourself.
• To move closer to family, see more of your grown kids and grand kids.
• To move further from the family, just too darn  much time spent taking care of the grand kids.
• Or, you need to move, to get the last kid out of the house.
• Tired of continually fixing things…wanting to maintain your independence by not relying on family and friends for  repairs.
• Maybe you prefer a more active social life, and would prefer to be around others.
• Health issues, tired of stairs,  need or prefer to have a single story home.
• Financial considerations, possibly free locked-up equity for remaining years while also maintaining other investments.
• Divorce, it can happen at  any time of life.
• Spending the kid’s inheritance and do something just for yourself for a change.  This is time for you  to enjoy the “some-days” of your life, you’ve earned it!

So if you’ve decided the time is right, explore some of your choices. Here are just a few for seniors to consider:

Smaller home or condo, less to take care of and worry about.

A “Golden Girls” home, sharing life with others.

A mobile home, financially affordable and little upkeep.

Travel time, on the road, in your motor home off to see the world.

Time for your Harley adventure on the road.

You always wanted to live in a golf community.

Adult/senior condominium development, for a more social environment.

Perhaps assisted living, that is if health issues are a concern for your or family.

Move in with family, this could help you, or may help them.

Or… you may have another choice, if so we would love to hear from you!
