Sell, Rent or Stay?
Conversations with my clients often lead to the question of whether they should sell their home and rent, or just stay where they live now?
The answer may surprise you.
The majority of my senior clients tell me they would rather stay in their home rather than rent.
The reasons are twofold:
- They are already comfortable in their current homes and dread the thought of leaving the place where they have raised their families.
- In most cases, my senior clients cannot find a place to rent that is less than or equal to what they are paying now and have the comforts of their current home.
