You love your family house. So many memories.

And now your kids are grown and living in other places.

You don’t need the big house anymore because you’re retired or dialing back.

The extra bathroom rarely gets used.

 

Is it Time to Rightsize?

Many people are finding that their current home is no longer what they need or want. It was bought to raise a family, be near schools and take advantage of suburban life.

Twenty-five years went by and it was a super place to commute to work, let kids play in parks and have neighborhood backyard gatherings. But now you want to travel, get rid of the big lawn or find time for other hobbies.

 

The Competition for “Just Right”

In 2016, there were approximately 74.1 million baby boomers (people born between 1946 and 1964) in the U.S, according to a Pew Research analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. Many are looking to reduce their home costs and find something that is “just right” as they enter retirement.

You may know you want to move, but where do you begin? Working with a realtor that specializes in downsizing (or rightsizing!) will help you understand what changes to make the biggest impact on the sale of your home.  Plus, your Realtor can find the resources for repairs, staging your home and moving you quickly onto the market.

 

This is a Move Up, Not Down

There are brand new homes, apartments with views of the skyline and historical refurbished homes that are the epitome of sleek mid-century modern.

The Pam Butera Group knows the market in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Rightsizing might mean a condo in the city or a quaint house within walking distance of the train. 50 percent of our business is in the city of Philadelphia.

Our team is unique since we sell in both the suburbs and in Philadelphia.  Everyone on our team will listen to you and be attentive to the criteria you have determined are essential for your future home.

Finance Your New Lifestyle

The Pam Butera Group team works in partnership with mortgage companies that can help you find a low-cost bridge loan. Using the equity in your home can provide a quick step toward your new lifestyle.
