“Emotionally attached” – Senior Citizen home selling tips – - part five

Kalamazoo MI Senior Real Estate – Growing older obviously brings many changes and challenges. Many of the biggest changes revolve around the challenges of maintaining a house.  Often the senior citizen and his/her family recognize that it will be necessary to sell the house and move to a living situation that will present fewer challenges. Interestingly, senior citizen housing and assisted living providers find that senior citizens often use their house, (which may be one of the biggest challenges to the senior citizen) as the excuse NOT to move to the senior center.  One of the directors of a local senior residence notes that senior citizens may fear that moving from a house that has been home for many years to a senior living facility signals less freedom or more limitations.  In actuality, according to her, moving to a place that has been designed and equiped for senior citizens often makes living even more enjoyable and increases freedom and friendships.  She commented that the need to sell the house happens to be one of the most convenient excuses to stall their major housing change decision.  She notes that the senior citizen or their adult children may have the perception (or use the excuse) that they won’t be able to sell their home in the current real estate market.  The current real estate market does have some unique challenges, but it also has some great opportunities!  Interest rates are near their all time lows and this brings MORE buyers into the market.  Houses ARE still selling in today’s market.  The Veenstra Team has adjusted their marketing strategies to take advantage of the great opportunities.  We are ready to help a senior citizen understand and work through the entire home selling process.  With the professional services of the Veenstra Team, senior citizens in Kalamazoo have a great option for getting their home sold.  Kalamazoo also has great senior living alternatives.  A living situation that supports a senior citizen can lead to a longer, happier life with increased opportunities!   Remember that the Veenstra Team offers completely free consultations with no obligations.  We will give you professional advice about your home sale prospects.  This will give you the information you need to make the best choices for your future!  We are eager to help you!
