Comments For "How the Economic Crisis is Affecting Senior Homeowners"
Reverse mortgages are really a helping hand to senior citizens. The important thing is that we have to take utmost care in selecting the loan. In my case it was bills.com, which helped me to find the right loan matching my financial health. I would like to suggest people planning for reverse mortgage to go through such online resources before making a decision.
This is an excellent representation of what I have found in Austin, TX as well. Seniors who truly see the benefits of making a move and/or who need to make a move to simply their life are doing so. If a senior chooses not to move, the reasons/excuses have not changed. As with all home owners right now, if the reasons to move are compelling enough, it's a good time to move....If you have no reason to move or desire to move...stay put. Some things don't change just because the economics are different. A good REALTOR will help you to evaluate your situation and make the best choice based on your unique circumstances.
