Occasionally, the stars align to make life’s big decisions easier. Many seniors are seriously considering moving to senior living now because they can maximize this investment in their future. As we’re all enjoying the thrill of coming together again, older adults are looking forward to living among interesting friends and neighbors, and they want to begin as soon as possible.

Why Consider Moving to Senior Living Now?

A Booming Housing Market

Several economic factors have come together to make this a lucrative seller’s market in the U.S. Mortgage rates have remained low. For a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the average rate in the first half of 2021 was 3.1%. Buyers are taking advantage of the low rates to invest in real estate for the first time or to buy a bigger place. Furthermore, housing inventory is low compared to demand, so many houses are selling for top dollar. Seniors who are considering moving to a Life Plan Community and/or investing in Life Care are taking this opportunity to reinvest some of the funds from the sale of their home into an entrance payment. With Life Care, these savvy seniors are securing a vibrant lifestyle and future health care below market rates.

It’s a Safe Move
