Your huge family home may have suited you while the kids were growing up but there may come a time when the upkeep and expense of a sprawling house is too much. Downsizing is one of the top reasons individuals between the ages of 54 and 63 decide to move and senior living in the Jacksonville area has many options.

Downsizing

Downsizing is a big decision and can be a mammoth task. Moving to a smaller home in retirement must be done wisely. First, it is good to get a good estimate of your current home’s worth. Consult with one or more real estate agents for an evaluation. Then calculate how much it will cost to buy a home in the area you plan to move to. There are plenty of retirement communities in Jacksonville, many with age restriction resort-style amenities, but the cost of living there varies. Also, look carefully at the tax implications of such a move. Consult with your tax professional or financial planner.
