I worked with a townhouse buyer last week...she's over 50...but not a senior.
And as we viewed several properties I wondered about the "new" fashion in town homes in our area. In the past three years builders have been putting up townhomes which are above the garage.
This means that you have to walk up a full flight of stairs. Now, I don't know about you, but I no longer have kids to carry in the groceries. I can't imagine dragging up several bags of groceries every week.
In fact, as the laundry rooms are also on the bottom level, I can't imagine lugging up baskets of laundry either.
What are these builders thinking? Or are they only building for young folks without knee problems? Seems like they're limiting the number of potential buyers.
And, my buyer did buy a townhouse, but where you walk into the house with only one step. And, the kitchen is easily reached from the garage and its hallway. A much more practical floor plan. And, guess what? The laundry room is on the second floor! Smart, don't you think?
Would you like to find a townhome like this? Call me at 630-961-2700 and let's talk.

Kind of sounds like the designers of the Townhomes are thinking about families with kids and not empy nesters. You wouldn't think that they would be so self limiting. Especially in todays market. I know when I write a loan, I have people of all ages apply (and qualify) for purchases such as this. I wish you good luck with your business!!
