A large home is ... BIG. And with it come big costs in terms of time, effort, money and safety. There was a time when the benefits of owning a big home far outweighed the costs; but now may be the time to ask yourself if that holds true today – especially for empty nesters and retirees. Transitioning out of a long-time home doesn’t have to mean extreme downsizing. Instead, it can mean finding a better fit for your current lifestyle – a smart-size home. By smart-sizing your living space, think about the many ways you can upscale your life. You can design spaces to indulge in your favorite pastimes, and re-imagine ways to spend new-found time and money on activities that bring you pleasure. Plus, you can increase your investment potential by taking advantage of the substantial increase in your property’s value.
2021-2022 were two of the strongest years for real estate sales in Sarasota. With the natural economic principle of supply vs. demand, we witnessed a surge in real estate values beyond the imaginable. Homes in all price ranges were in high demand, yet the larger the sticker price, the bigger the increase in sales value. Although supply has risen, home values have retained their appreciation gain and demand is still strong. People want to live in beautiful locations like Sarasota. We continue to experience real demand, based on real money, by real people.
If smart-sizing is right for you, now may be the right time to cash in on your home’s appreciated equity.
