Know When It’s Time to Sell The House.

Seniors move into assisted care facilities or retirement communities for many reasons. Perhaps they need medical help or memory care. Others want to downsize. Still others like the amenities and convenience of having senior care services at their doorstep. Senior care facilities eliminate the burden of home maintenance and provide a safe environment.

We buy your house for cash. It’s a service that real estate agents won’t offer.

“I can’t keep up the yard.”

As we age, the physical strain of yard work can be too much. In the summer, there is grass that needs to be mowed, gardens that need to be weeded, flowers that need to be mulched, and trees to trim. In the winter, there are sidewalks to shovel and the danger of falling is increased.

“I can’t do steps.”

People who live in multi-story homes may have difficulty navigating the stairs due to injury or age. Those with mobility issues, including using a walker or wheelchair, may find that steps are impossible. The fall risk is heightened when there are stairs in the house. When going up and down stairs becomes difficult, it may be time to look for a home on a single level. Senior care facilities are built with mobility in mind.

“Stairways are a common location for falls, and they result in a disproportionate risk of death or severe injury.”

from “A review of stairway falls and stair negotiation: Lessons learned and future needs to reduce injury” by Jesse V. Jacobs

“I need medical help for myself or my spouse.”

There are many choices in senior care, from independent living in a condo to full nursing home care. Some facilities will allow seniors to transition between the different levels of medical care as their needs change.

“I want to retire and enjoy a community of friends my age.”

Many senior living places will have activities for the residents. A friend who recently moved into a care facility told me that there is a free happy hour every day in the common room. He loves having a glass of wine before dinner with his new friends.

It’s Time To Sell The Family House

If the home has been owned for a long time, it will have a significant amount of equity. Some seniors will own their house without a mortgage or bank loan. They will be able to sell the house and realize the full amount of profit. Others will have paid off 40% or more of the loan, which can still be a significant amount of money. The equity in the home is value that is stored. When the home is sold, that equity becomes money in the bank that can be used for senior care.

Senior care facilities can cost a lot of money. In 2019, the average cost of assisted living and memory care is $4,000 per month with memory care costing an additional 20%.

Senior care facilities, which offer the flexibility of a continuum of care from independent living to skilled nursing, can cost an average of $3350 per month plus entrance fees of $80,000-150,000.

For many families, selling a home can be an important source of money for paying for long term care expenses.

Upward Home Solutions can help you with a quick house sale.
