As your trusted realtor, Krista Klause is here to show you how your house could be a hidden goldmine! Let’s dive in! 👇

Your Home’s Hidden Wealth 💰

Home values have soared by nearly 60% over the last five years, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). That’s a significant boost to your net worth! In fact, Freddie Mac reveals:

“Boomer overall wealth increased by $19 trillion, or $486,000 per household, half of which is due to house price appreciation.”

If you’ve owned your home even longer, your equity has likely grown even more! Selling your home and downsizing could be the perfect way to unlock that equity and enhance your retirement lifestyle.

Why Downsizing Might Be Right for You

Here’s how downsizing can set you up for a more comfortable and stress-free retirement:

1️⃣ Cut Your Cost of Living 💡

The AARP says the top reason adults 50+ move is to reduce their cost of living. Downsizing to a smaller home or moving to a more affordable area can lower expenses like:

Utilities
Property taxes
Maintenance costs

2️⃣ Simplify Your Life 🌿

A smaller home often means less upkeep and fewer responsibilities. That’s more time and energy to focus on what matters most during retirement—whether it’s traveling, pursuing hobbies, or spending time with loved ones.

3️⃣ Boost Your Financial Flexibility 💳

Selling your current house gives you access to the equity you’ve built over the years. Turn that equity into cash to:

Invest
Pay off debt
Create a financial cushion for peace of mind
