Sometimes the motive for selling your home isn't about upsizing, it's about downsizing. Downsizing isn't necessarily about spending less money. Just as frequently, it's about increasing your home's amenities while decreasing the work and responsibilities involved in a larger home. There are a lot of excellent reasons for downsizing your Piscataway home.
•· The kids have grown up and moved away
•· You want less work inside and/or out
•· You just want to enjoy your home without hassle
•· You want something smaller and greener to save energy and the environment
•· You want community amenities such as golf and tennis
•· You want luxuries like a granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, whirlpool tub, pool and spa
•· You want less responsibility so you're free to travel
Downsizing is all about knowing what your needs are and what you desire in a new home, which is basically the same thing you need to know when upsizing. When people think about buying a new Piscataway home, it's usually about more bathrooms, more bedrooms, and more space. But, as home owners get older, they often begin to realize that all that space is more of an obstacle than a benefit.
For example, condominiums or townhouses are an attractive option for busy homeowners. There's no yard work and owning a condo still provides a tangible real estate asset with all the accompanying tax incentives. Those are especially valuable now with the $8,000 tax credit stimulus package giving new homeowners a bigger tax rebate for a real estate purchase on a principle residence in 2009.
