What are you looking for in YOUR Florida Retirement home?
December 26, 2019First, identify the core values and lifestyle most important to you in a 55+ community in Florida like Lake Ashton, Traditions at Lake Ruby, Vienna Square or Carlsberg Estates. Perhaps you want a home in a quiet, 55+ Community, or maybe you want an active lifestyle in a high-maintenance 55+ community like Lake Ashton and Traditions at Lake Ruby or Vienna Square that’s more conducive to planned activities, events and connectivity with neighbors and friends.
Imagine your ideal lifestyle, both today and a decade into the future, and use this as the basis for choosing the features you’d like in your retirement home in Florida. Would you like a seasonal home or non-seasonal home? Do you need a 3 Bedroom / 2 Bath home with a golf cart garage? Perhaps, a home with a golf course view is at the top of your list. Maybe you’re looking for a home where you can park your personal RV in a covered garage.
The answers to questions like these will impact your home selection. Here are several qualities in a resale home you should consider.
Bedroom Consider the number of bedrooms that you may need in your home. Is a 2 Bedroom / 2 Bath home sufficient, or do you prefer to have a separate den/office for a hobby/craft room?
Bathrooms Additional beds and baths can boost the value of a home, too. Some homes offer 2 ½ baths, which add value to a Florida retirement home.
Efficiency Consider how much monthly budget you can allocate for utilities. Your real estate agent can ask the seller for copies of utility bills from the past 12 months. These bills should offer an idea of the costs of heating and cooling the home.
