Facts And Figures Of Maintaining A Home


During a Home Transition, there are many costs to consider.  For most Americans, their home is their largest asset, and also their largest expense. There are many nuances that factor into a late-life move, and many times families find themselves overwhelmed and short on time and resources. Hiring a professional to guide and plan the process not only eliminates stress but extra expenses as well, allowing the family to take advantage of their largest asset - the home.

Costs to Maintain Average American Home


According to financial experts for GoBankingRate, "owning a home doesn’t end with your mortgage loan... you must add maintenance into your budget, which might cost you an additional $1,204 a month, or $14,448 annually" as a result of seven recurring monthly costs.

Average Timing


According to A Place for Mom, it takes the average family 4-12 months to prepare for a move to senior living. In addition, 50% of families live in other states causing additional time and expense to be able to get in town to take care of the project.
