Is your home too big for you? Perhaps you have an empty nest that has more square footage than you need, or the yard work is taking time away from enjoying your life. Do you want a smaller mortgage (or none at all) or are you simply ready for the retirement lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of? Is now the right time to sell your home and get the ‘right sized’ home for your needs now and into the future? John and Becky Durham, Broker and REALTORS® with REMAX in Woodbury, MN and Hudson, WI are offering two classes that can help you decide your next steps:
Selling your Luxury Home in Today’s Market – Tuesday, March 21st 6:30 to 8:30 P.M
Rightsizing Your Home – Tuesday, March 28th 2017, 6:30 to 8:30 P.M
Rightsizing Your Home
Baby boomers and seniors frequently contact Becky and John, unsure if they should sell their home now or stay in their current home for a few more years. We can help you decide if now is the right time for you to sell your home. In their Rightsizing Your Home course they will help you identify the reasons why you want to sell your home (in any price point) and purchase a more efficient property (you’d be surprised how many reasons there are.) We call it ‘Rightsizing‘ because not all seniors want a smaller or less expensive home, but rather the right home, as they age, ie. one-level town homes, handicapped accessible homes, association maintained communities with amenities, and lifestyle options such as golf course communities. Discovering the reason you want to ‘rightsize’ your home is vitally important for John and Becky to map out a plan that maximizes your home’s sales price and helps you find the best property for you in your preferred community. In Rightsizing Your Home, they will discuss:
- Current housing market conditions
- Identify housing options available for seniors
- Availability of listings in various price points by community
- Whether there is housing appreciation
- Current interest rates and whether the Feds may be hiking interest rates in the near future

In Selling your Luxury Home in Today’s Market they will discuss:
- Special circumstances in the luxury home market
- Who is buying luxury homes today
- Getting the most money for your luxury home
- Marketing a luxury home for sale in MN & WI
