So you want to retire in a really, really big home? Well, let’s talk about the new trend that is developing and sweeping the country. Oftentimes, we hear about downsizing, minimal minimizing expenses, but a new trend is actually showing that downsize are looking for more space, more extravaganza than ever. Hi, I’m Janine Sasso, realtor in Schaumburg Hoffman Estates, Barrington and the surrounding suburbs of Chicago. What do people look out for when they downsize into retirement? But they want to have a larger home than what they currently own. A larger place for retirement oftentimes seems to be a good fit if your vision of retirement is family gatherings, people coming to visit all the time, coming to create memories and making amazing, amazing things happen.
Maybe a larger property is just what you need. Few considered a senior living facility or community. When you retire, I hope you really thought this one through. You want to know why? If you are looking to retire into a retirement community, make sure that you are fully aware of some of the rules that they have in place for people, family, friends that are visiting regarding the age restriction and limitation. You want to look at things up. What is there to do? And you want to look at things like what is nearby? If you are out in the middle of nowhere with no amenities, do you think your grandchildren will enjoy spending the night if they even can?
There is a lot of consideration that goes into selecting a retirement community. Regardless of your retirement community, you should definitely keep an eye on major travel ways. How far are you from an airport? Are the major roads to get to you? Because now that you’re retired, two things might happen. You might have more people come and visit you, which then they utilize those. Or maybe you want to take up more traveling. And let’s be honest, if you are closer to something like an airport or a major road, it makes things a little bit more enjoyable for you. Oh, here. I bet you did not consider the next thing on my checklist. Or did you? A spare bedroom might go a long way when it comes to selecting a retirement home. Maybe you need it for an overspill office where you still do something.
A hobby room. But what about your visitors? I mean, comfort for your visitors has become increasingly important for retirement homes because you want to make sure they have access to a bathroom. They have a private bedroom. And you love to have visitors over, at least in most cases, I would think. Keep you company. And selecting your retirement home.
