Questions you may want to Ask yourself. Even if your home is paid off by the time your grown kids move out.

*Is your yard easy to maintain?

*Do you feel isolated?

*Do you have too much stuff to manage?

*Do you have a lot of equity in your home?

Here's some concerns and things to consider: Things like stairs, multiple levels, outdated bathrooms, or long driveways and walkways become more dangerous as you age.

Benefits to consider: A simpler lifestyle:

*Roughly 51 percent of retirees ages 50 and over move into smaller homes and sixty-four percent of seniors say they plan to stay in their current homes.

*Moving to a one-floor space that's easy to access and navigate can help you age in place longer.

*Family- you might move later in life to be closer to your children, grandchildren who can help you age in place.

*Medical needs- Seniors with chronic conditions or needing more frequent medical care may need to relocate to be near their doctor or adult children or they might need to move into a space that can accommodate specific medical equipment.

*Lower utility bills: It costs a lot less to heat or cool a smaller home. *There is no wasted space, such as vaulted ceilings, in a smaller home, less square footage decreases the amount of energy expended.

* Downsizing your home means that you trade your present house for a smaller or less-expensive one.

*Switch over to a condo or townhouse, or you could move to a home similar to yours in a more affordable area of town.
