This Week’s Podcast: Stay or Sell? How to Make the Right Move

Written by Jay Day

At some point, every homeowner starts asking the question…
“Should I stay in my home… or is it time to make a move?”

This week we break down what’s really driving that decision right now — and why it’s not always as simple as it seems.

Here’s what stood out:
About 90% of homeowners over 65 say they want to stay in their home long-term
…but wanting to stay and being able to stay comfortably can be two very different things.

In this episode we talk about:
What it really takes to “age in place” (and the costs to plan for)
When small updates turn into bigger decisions
Signs your home may no longer fit your lifestyle
When moving actually makes life easier, not harder

Bottom line: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — but having a plan now puts you in control later.

Tune in and start thinking about what your next chapter should look like.
