Seniors: Downsize your home without payments?

By
Real Estate Agent with Seven Gables Realty 01750881

If you are 62Plus, you more than likely qualify for the Reverse Purchase Program.  Without giving a long explanation, I will give you an example of how it works.  Currently your home value is $500,000.  You have lived there for 30 years but it is too big for you now.  At 2800 square feet, you wish to downsize to 1200 square feet but you don't want to increase your expenses. What should you do?

Consider a Reverse Mortgage...ah, not really, a Reverse Purchase!  That's right a Reverse Mortgage purchase.

 

Example, $500,000 value of your home  - $175,000, down payment for new home.  Net profit $325,000.

 

Sell your current house for $500,000.  Buy a new home for $350,000 put a down payment of $175,000 and save the remainder of your funds for health costs!    You will have no payments for the reset of your life, your tax base would be based on your old home (most counties in California), and you now have a total profit in hand of $325,000 with NO MORTGAGE PAYMENT!  If at any time you wanted to payoff this reverse mortgage, either you or your children can  Of course if the value increased, you may owe nothing!  Wow! There is more good news, but I will save it for next time!

Contact Concetta at 951 208 9940 with any questions you may have.  This is a fantastic program!

I know of the program and a decent bit of how it works, but I was surprised this last class by how much one student in particular knew about it.

concetta germain Welcome aboard. You are in my neck of the woods. I am so glad your first post is filled with a topic that we can share with our senior or more mature clients. Afterall, who wouldn't want to downsize and have no monthly payments.

Concetta - I think this is something that many people are not aware of - that they can buy a home with a reverse mortgage.
