There's no getting around it, I'm getting older! But then so are you. And so are 80 million baby boomers approaching retirement age!
My left knee hurts. My right foot hurts. But only when I walk! I need to schedule an eye appointment and face the music this time. Yes, I really DO need bifocals! My hairdresser keeps the gray at bay, and good genetics have blessed me with few wrinkles and an appearance younger than my age.
When it comes to homes, as we age we begin to rethink things a bit. Stairs! Recent years have seen a change in home designs to accommodate the desires of the aging population. One level living. Smaller homes but larger rooms and higher quality finishes. More and more buyers are insisting on homes with at the very least, a main floor master bedroom suite.
The good news if you are looking to buy a home in the Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden areas, there is an AMPLE supply of homes on the market with a main level master bedroom!
Another option for aging homeowners is referred to as Aging In Place. This refers to planning ahead and modifying the home you have been living to meet your needs as you age.
New construction, taking into account the anticipated adjustments in design to accommodate your needs as you age in place is yet another option.
I don't know about you but I plan to do it with grace and style, in spite of my bunion and bifocals!
