Trends in 55+ housing
Posted on Mon, Feb 13, 2012
The Metlife Mature Market Institute recently conducted a study on trends for homeowners in the 55+ age category. The results were surprising, and indicative of an increasingly independent lifestyle for senior homeowners. This study discusses the desire for many to age-in-place at their current home. We have seen numerous requests for smart aging renovations in our client base over the last several years. Small things like wider hallways and doors, bathroooms that could accommodate wheelchair access are often requested by our clients.
These ideas are easy to accommodate as part of a new home or renovation project. However, attempting to make these livability upgrades quickly after a serious illnes or accident can be challenging and expensive. You can download the metlife report here: 55+ Buyer Trends Study
