The Benefits of Downsizing When You Retire
If you’re taking a look at your expenses as you retire, saving money where you can has a lot of appeal. One long-standing, popular way to do that is by downsizing to a smaller home.
When you think about cutting down on your spending, odds are you think of frequent purchases, like groceries and other goods. But when you downsize your house, you often end up downsizing the bills that come with it, like your mortgage payment, energy costs, and maintenance requirements. Realtor.com shares:
“A smaller home typically means lower bills and less upkeep. Then there’s the potential windfall that comes from selling your larger home and buying something smaller.”
That windfall is thanks to your home equity. If you’ve been in your house for a while, odds are you’ve built up a considerable amount of equity. And that equity is something you can use to help you buy a home that better fits your needs today. Daniel Hunt, CFA at Morgan Stanley, explains:
“Home equity can be a significant source of wealth for retirees, often representing a large portion of their net worth. . . . Retirement planning can be complex, but your home equity shouldn’t be overlooked.”
And when you’re ready to use that equity to fuel your next move, your real estate agent will be your guide through every step of the process. That includes setting the right price for your current house when you sell, finding the home that best fits your evolving needs, and understanding what you can afford at today’s mortgage rate.
What This Means for You
If you’re thinking about downsizing, ask yourself these questions:
- Do the original reasons I bought my current house still stand, or have my needs changed since then?
- Do I really need and want the space I have right now, or could somewhere smaller be a better fit?
- What are my housing expenses right now, and how much do I want to try to save by downsizing?
Then, meet with a real estate agent to get an answer to this one: What are my options in the market right now? A local real estate agent can walk you through how much equity you have in your house and how it positions you to win when you downsize.
Bottom Line
Want to save money in retirement? Consider downsizing – it could really help you out. When you’re ready, let’s connect about your goals in the housing market this year. Message us @SHEA PREFERRED REALTY GROUP
Follow My Listing Prep Checklist
1. Cleaning Police
Dust and wipe down every surface, corner, hidden nook, blind and fan. Invest in a steam cleaner. The before and after may shock you but, from personal experience, the satisfaction is unparalleled.
2. De-Cluttering Dynamo
Bulky furniture or too many personal items can make a home appear smaller than it really is. Consider temporarily renting a storage unit for any excess belongings.
3. Handyman Hero
Tighten the leaky faucet, fix the squeaky door hinge, and paint the spot on the ceiling. The fewer issues a buyer can spot, the more appealing your home will be.
4. Exterior Achiever
Crisp and clean windows, a manicured lawn, fresh mulch, and a few pops of seasonal flowers go a long way for our first impression!
5. Staging Magician
Staging has been shown to increase a home’s sale price by 1-5% and decrease the time it spends on the market. (Say less!) We’ll hire the pros for this and watch their magic unfold before our eyes.
The Spring Market is a Sweet Spot Today if You’re Looking to Sell
Some Highlights
- Wondering if now’s a good time to sell your house? Based on how many homes are on the market, there are two big reasons why this spring is looking so good for sellers.
- Thanks to an uptick in inventory over last year, you’ve got more options for your next home. But there are still fewer homes for sale than there’d normally be, meaning your house should stand out and get a lot of attention from buyers.
- If you want to sell your house, this spring is the sweet spot. When you’re ready, let’s chat to get the ball rolling.
