Where Are the One-level Homes in Rapid City SD Area?

We currently have an inventory of only 13 homes in the Rapid City SD area that fulfill our criteria for "Senior Friendly Living."  Most of them are east, north and northwest suburbs of Rapid City, which includes Box Elder and Black Hawk.  This is a low inventory for this time of year.  These downsizer homes are "flying off the shelves" this year.  I talk with a lot of agents who are going around seeking more listings for their buyers.

 

What IS a "Senior Friendly Living Home"?

No one sets a rule for what constitutes a downsizer home for senior friendly living.  Our current criteria are focused on helping older adults and their elderly parents live safe, healthy and stress-free in a senior friendly environment.  This generally means homes that are newer, basement-free, ranch style, smaller, minimal yard work, and not too far a commute from services commonly needed by older persons (e.g., medical, financial):

  • Built five or fewer years ago
  • Under 1/2 acre
  • Only one or two bathrooms to manage
  • Exactly one or two-stall garage, preferably attached
  • Nominal commute to services for older persons.

No-stress Sale of Homes for Elderly Parents

We try to be especially helpful for families helping their elderly parents sell their home without the biggest common challenge: "stress."  We like to help your elderly parent concentrate on looking forward to new friends, greater security, and broader opportunities for  rich senior-friendly living.  With the great demand for downsizer homes by too many buyers, this is the best time in several years to arrange a relocation.
