Wow, what is happening to our economy ? This seams to be the Million Dollar question on everyones mind !

Slack lending practices, out dated accounting principals combined with the uncertainty or our nations leaders, make quite an interesting time we are living in!

Well, here is my 2 cents worth! I am glad I own my own home, and with the roller coaster financial markets, I’m glad I have some of my retirement invested in rental property too!

I think we saw the eye of the storm this Summer as the economy appeared to be picking up, and now the eye has passed and we are seeing the back end and repercussions of the storm! Normally the tail of the storm is shorter and less destructive then the lead way and this too shall quickly pass!

The interest rates are still at record lows, sellers are having to discount their homes in order to sell them, and more people are becoming renters again, after taking on too much debt, and the increasing restraints in both the credit & financial markets.

I think this is Now a tremendous buying opportunity ! Not the flipping market we saw several years ago, but a different attitude of buy and rent!

Due to the increasing foreclosure rates and fraudulent lending practices that help create this “Perfect Storm” in the secondary mortgage & credit markets, They have implemented several changes in the qualification for rental properties. I would love to provide you with this information, and meet with you if you are considering investing in some Real Estate at this time.

Since we are not getting any re-assurances from our government or political candidest, I want to let everyone know “I think everything will be alright!”

We need to keep a positive attitude during these time, and focus on the positive ray of sunshine piercing the clouds! Its clean up time, lets buy!

Is It Time To Re-Consider Your Housing Situation?

As our lives advance to the next chapter, so will our housing needs and demands.  Some may choose to stay in one place for what seems like eternity, and others may not mind a housing change every few years.  Some, unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, may not have a choice.  Whatever the circumstances, here are some key points to take into account when considering a change to an alternative living situation: 

#1  Economical Reasons:  When current retirement or social security income can’t keep up with the escalating cost of home ownership and maintenance or perhaps the financial responsibility is beginning to eat away at your savings, it’s time to consider downsizing!

#2  Relocation:  A move to be closer to family or friends may be beneficial for all concerned or perhaps a change in surroundings for a new life in another location is needed for a renewed lease on life.

#3  Physical Ability or Life Stage Changes:  Older adults may find that climbing stairs may become a challenge or suddenly there is a need of a wheelchair accessible residence.  A move to leave precious memories behind might be necessary for a senior’s emotional well-being.

#4  Lifestyle Changes:  “Empty Nesters” may no longer need to be close to work.  A desire for replacing yard work and home maintenance for a new lifestyle of playing golf or bridge with friends may become a priority.

#5  Cash-Out:  Homeowners may want to take advantage of the new tax laws and “cash-out”.  Downsizing can produce equity to help fund a new lifestyle, allow the purchase of a vacation home or an income producing property.

#6  Reduce Responsibilities:  A “Lock It and Leave It” home creates an attractive lifestyle of complete freedom, leisure activities and unrestricted travel.

Whatever the reason, a home may very well be the biggest investment made over the course of a lifetime, and it could also be the most valuable asset.  Seniors should be cautious, open-minded and consider all options before making a decision to re-locate.  Before making one of the most important decisions of a lifetime, older adults should discuss a major move with family members and, most importantly, get good counsel from a professional Seniors Real Estate Specialist who has first hand experience and knowledge to explain all of the options, opportunities and resources available.
