Every housing decision involves a complex set of factors, but moving into an active adult community adds several unique considerations. A real estate agent with the SRES® designation can help you sort through these and other factors when deciding on your next home:

Location
Do you prefer living close to family and friends or in a particular area for health or weather reasons? Do you want to live in a smaller urban facility with minimal services, or do you prefer a more extensive, independent campus that meets all your social needs and offers numerous onsite amenities? Do you plan to maintain one or more vehicles or prefer relying on your community’s transportation options or public transit?

Cost
Your options will expand or be limited by the amount you have saved and the money you receive from the sale of your existing home. How much can you invest in your new community, and what is your monthly budget for living expenses? Remember to include any homeowners’ fees when making your decision. Also, factor in any upfront move-in fees.
