What Should Retirees Consider Before Relocating?

What happens when the retirement relocation dream meets reality? Spoiler alert: grandkids change everything!
In this enlightening conversation, REMAX Properties broker Lori Thompson unpacks the essential considerations for retirees contemplating a move. Drawing from decades of experience helping both military families and civilians find their forever homes, Lori reveals that while grandchildren often become the deciding factor for many retirees, practical considerations still demand attention.
Thinking beyond today's needs proves crucial when selecting a retirement property. Those stairs might be manageable now, but how will they feel in five years? That stunning mountain retreat might offer peaceful solitude, but how far is it from medical care? Lori addresses these forward-thinking questions while emphasizing the importance of long-term affordability—examining not just purchase prices but ongoing costs like property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees that can make or break a retirement budget.
The discussion takes a humorous turn when exploring what happens when couples disagree about where to relocate. Lori's sage advice? "When all else fails, agree with her." But seriously, resolving location differences before moving prevents years of potential discontent. Whether you're planning retirement relocation or just contemplating future possibilities, this episode offers practical wisdom for making choices you won't regret.
