I want to sell my home and move into an apartment. good idea?

Question

we are seniors and need more space

Answer 1

As a property manager, I've found that apartments for seniors are on the rise.  It's helpful to not have to be responsible for maintenance and repairs and provides a more social setting.  If there are any senior living center, I'd suggest checking it out.  I'd also visit several apartment complexes to see if they can accommodate your needs prior to putting your home on the market.

Answer 2

Possibly but at the same time the housing market is down, if you have to sell but I would wait for an increase in the house market.  You are not going to get what your house is worth.

Answer 3

A good idea to acquire a apartment and sell off your home.YOU ALL SENIORS CAN LIVE COMFORTABLY IN THE APARTMENT?

Answer 4

well it is much cheaper, and you don't pay property taxes, in fact you get money back from the state for renting...

it has some perks

Answer 5

If you are seniors it is more convenient and there is more space for you to say in your home which is build on landed properties rather than to stay in an apartment which may have several storeys.  

Answer 6

Isn't it the opposite? if you move from a home to an apartment you will have less space.
