Are you an “Empty Nester?” Are you thinking about your options to maximize the newfound space in your home, or possibly downsize to one more suitable for your glorious retirement years?

Like thousands of home sellers, you may be discovering that after years of non-stop child traffic in and out of your doors, toys on the floor, music floating throughout, suddenly you can hear a pin drop over the quiet hum of the refrigerator. Your rooms are filled with pictures and memories of this wonderful time in your life, but there are many empty rooms gathering dust now that your children have moved on. The freer years ahead are exciting ones to look forward to, and it may be time for you to move as well.

If you find yourself in this situation, you’re in vast and good company, and what that means is that there are many wonderful opportunities for you to create in this new chapter in your life! You have a lot of options in front of you, now all you have to do is decide which is best for your situation.

Downsize: The most obvious option when your home has become too big for your immediate needs is to downsize to a retirement community, condo, townhome, one-level rancher, etc. A smaller home will likely provide less maintenance, lower utility bills, and is safer for those who struggle going up and downstairs. If you’re interested in improving your lifestyle and focusing on community, an age-restricted neighborhood is a great way to be involved in activities and enjoy high-end amenities.

If you’re ready to downsize to a smaller home, getting the most out of the equity you’ve built up in your current one is paramount for a bustling retirement. Our team has prepared a special report that will give you the tools you need to maximize your profits, maintain control, and reduce the stress that comes with the home selling process.

Transform Spare Rooms: There is nothing wrong with living in a house that is too big for you, but instead of letting empty rooms collect dust, you can transform them into hobby rooms, office spaces, or guest rooms for the holidays.

Renting: This option is great for those who want extra income and can be useful for company and security! Short-term rentals like Airbnbs are even more profitable than long-term rentals and are highly sought after in many areas.

Whatever you choose, marvelous retirement is within reach, and you should be excited to start this next chapter in your life’s journey! Congrats!
