» Residential Real Estate Investing Class at Benaroy
Posted on 2/12/2006
I went to Benaroya Hall to hear Nikolaj Znaider play his Stradivarius
in Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major. Magnificent - don't miss
this Danish maestro if he comes to your town. I was chatting with my
friend, Sandy, during the intermission. Sandy noted that as she is
batting around in a large house all by herself these days, she's been
checking out homes in her area to see if it might be a good time to
move.
Home builders, she notes are still keeping their heads in the sand about the grayiing of America. They continue to build multi-story homes, many of them smaller and marketed to empty nesters. But Sandy has special experience with what Americans are really going to need - single level homes or master suites on the main floor at the very least. Sandy spent a number of years caring for her husband who succumbed to multiple schlerosis last year. She explained to me that a master suite on the first floor requires a larger footprint for the house, making it more expensive to build - land is getting scarcer by the minute.
So Sandy's thinking of staying in her current place for awhile. She figures she'll have one of the homes that folks will be looking for - and there won't be many of them out there. Thinking of investing in residential real estate? Think ahead - America is getting older and they are going to need one level homes.
