If retirement is on the horizon, it’s time to think about your next chapter. You want to live comfortably and confidently, with the financial freedom to enjoy the life you’ve worked hard for.
What many don’t realize is that your home may hold the key to that freedom. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), home values have surged nearly 60% over the last five years.
Even more impactful? Freddie Mac reports that over the same period, Boomers’ wealth grew by $19 trillion, with nearly half of that due to home appreciation. If you’ve been in your home for a while, you might be sitting on a goldmine of equity.
Why Downsizing Could Be the Right Move
Selling your current home and downsizing to something smaller—or relocating to a more affordable area—could help you tap into your equity and use it to live the retirement you’ve envisioned. Whether your plans include travel, family time, or simply a greater sense of financial security, accessing your home’s equity could make it all possible.
Here’s why downsizing might be the perfect next step:
-
Lower Your Cost of Living
Moving to a smaller home or a more affordable area can significantly reduce your monthly expenses, from utilities to property taxes and maintenance costs.
-
Simplify Your Life
A smaller home means less upkeep and more time to focus on what matters most in retirement.
-
Boost Your Financial Flexibility
Selling your home gives you access to the equity you’ve built, turning it into cash you can use however you like—whether for investing, paying off debt, or creating a financial cushion for the future.
