Benefits of Downsizing to Solana
Solana Bribie Island
One of the most thought about decisions coming into retirement is downsizing or staying in the family home. While downsizing looks different to everyone, Stockwell offers two great options for owner occupiers with inner city apartments and 50's communities in idyllic Queensland locations. Solana Lifestyle Resorts are the perfect choice for those wanting to downsize into a new home within a safe and secure neighbourhood. Plus, you get the added benefits of more cash flow with the proceeds of the sale of your house, living on a shared site with lots of amenities, and choosing a location that suits your retirement years.
Whether or not to downsize should be based on your specific needs and preferences. Factors that may influence your choice include:
• Is it difficult for you or other family members to maintain the property and its grounds?
• Will family members be moving back home again, or have they already moved out?
• Can you contribute more funds to have a more comfortable retirement from the sale of your house?
• Are you close to transport, shopping centres, and needed services?
• Do you have social networks and the comfort of well known neighbours?
• Do you have the safety to lock up and leave if you want to travel?
• What does your ideal retirement lifestyle look like?
Benefits of downsizing
Reduce the amount of space that has to be maintained regularly
As a result, you’ll save both time and money by no longer needing to clean or repair things like fences, gardens and swimming pools. Heating, cooling and lighting a small space will also save your electricity bill.
You'll have more time to enjoy the things you love
Spending less time on maintenance and upkeep means you can enjoy travelling to see family and friends, learning a new skill, spending time on a treasured hobby, meeting new friends, or expanding your social network.
You can contribute more to your retirement fund
All those years of mortgage repayments have to pay off eventually! Selling your bigger family home can get you closer to your retirement goals earlier than expected, depending on how much you owe on your property and the sale price. In addition, the Australian Government's Downsizing contributions into superannuation incentive offers retirees even more motivation to downsize. So increase your super, retire sooner!
