Trilogy by Shea homes announced a new online survey for 55+ home buyers nationwide. The builder of active adult retirement communities in Peoria AZ and Queen Creek AZ, as well as other communities across the U,S, is encouraging home buyers near retirement age to participate in an online survey to "gain insight into their personalities and lifesytle preferences when it comes to planning retirement and their future homes". 

I took the survey and found it interesting and thought provoking. I learned that I am mostly a traditionalist (Sounds a little boring. I wanted to be an "explorer driven by endless curiosity and adventure or soul seeker who is looking to gain more sensual experiences and inspiration in their lives ").

The six section personality quiz includes choosing from pictures of different community settings, questions about entertainment and travel preferences as well as interests and causes. The end result for the quiz taker is a better understanding about the retirement community that will best fit them. Participants also have the opportunity to discuss the results with Trilogy representatives and receive follow-up "information about events, activities and hobbies that best fit their unique personality styles".

The survey, at http://www.trilogylifescape.com/ is fun. (You don't have to give your information to take the quiz and get a summary of the results.)

If you are considering purchasing a new or resale home in a 55+ retirement community in the Phoenix valley, I would be happy to provide you with information or set an appointment for you to view models and/or inventory homes. If you are in another part of the U.S., I will refer you to a professional buyer's agent in your area who can assist you. Remember when purchasing a new home, being represented by a buyer's agent is important and costs you nothing as the compensation is paid by the seller.
