Make Your Home Comfortable for Any Age

Casey O. Smith -  Pittsburgh Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Pittsburgh, PA

The majority of people over the age of 45 want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout their maturing years. According to AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in place, which means living in their home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.

home-for-agingThe National Association of Home Builders in collaboration with AARP developed a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) program to address the needs of these consumers. These specialists are trained in:

  • The unique needs of older people;
  • Home modifications that can help people live independently in their homes longer;
  • Common remodeling projects;
  • Solutions to common barriers.

The CAPS program goes beyond design to address common remodeling projects and their costs, product ideas, and resources needed to provide aging-in-place solutions.

Read a recent article that recommends seven things that you should always keep in mind for your aging-in-place residence.

Your Home: Love It or Leave It

Casey O. Smith -  Pittsburgh Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Pittsburgh, PA

If you don't love your house, then maybe it's time to sell. Here are some of the top reasons that people move on to a new home:

  • sell-house1Home is too small. Increased family size is the main reason home owners say they need a larger home.
  • Time to upgrade. People often want what they don't have and long for a grander, more upscale home.
  • Purchase mistake. Owners might believe they made a mistake when purchasing their present home.
  • Commuting distance. If the drive to work exceeds an hour, some people may want to move closer to their employer.
  • Personal relationships. Moving in with a partner can mean one of the parties will need to sell, and break-ups cause owners to sell as well.
  • Neighborhood changes. The neighborhood might have changed for the worse, economically, socially or physically.
  • Empty nest/Retirement. The older you get, the harder it is to keep a big house clean.
  • See family more often. Some people want to be closer to their family and will move to be near relatives.
  • Health problems. Knee or back problems make it difficult to climb stairs in a two-story, so a one-story home may be more practical.

Do any of these sound like your situation? If so, it may be time for you to leave your home behind. If you're ready to sell and find a new home that you absolutely love, give me a call.
