Sell The Big House

There is no time like the present ...

It seems that over the last few years, there have been numbers of “Empty Nesters” who “zigged” when they should have “zagged” in planning their future housing needs. Before the recent housing downturn, many “Boomers” facing retirement opted for that larger “dream home” with the granite kitchen, and the hand scrapped hardwood floors. The fact that their incomes would be diminishing in the coming years wasn’t considered. Big mistake!

Isn’t it interesting that Mr. and Mrs. Bighouse now live in a 3500+ sq foot home when the 2500 sq ft home in which they raised their 3 kids, suited them fine for all those years! They wanted to reward themselves for all their hard work, and they did! Now it’s high time to think about downsizing for a whole bunch of important financial reasons.

In the meantime, the housing market is not so great, and homes are harder to sell, but who would uh ‘thunk it?

The Bighouse’s income stream is about to take a turn in a southerly direction. John Bighouse’s job is coming to an end and Mrs. Bighouse wants to quit her part-time job. The Bighouse’s are on the verge of becoming “house poor”.

The moral of this story is that you shouldn’t try and keep up with the Bighouse’s.

Finally, whether you live in 2500 sq ft or a 3500+ sq ft home, consider that someday EVERYONE is going to need to downsize. It is far better that you downsize “your own self” rather than having to depend on someone else to shoulder that responsibility. What’s more, YOU need to make this move to downsize while you’re still ambulatory and in good health. NOW is the time to go through your closets and divest yourself of all your accumulated “stuff”. You’re certain to make some lucky recipient happy, and you’ll do a better and more meaningful job of this task than someone who ends up with the responsibility by default!

Anyone can put a sign in your yard! I’ll SELL your house for the most money possible, in the shortest amount of time, and with the least inconvenience to you and your family!
