LEGAL NOTICES
Should you downsize when you retire?
When you retire, you’ll
experience many changes —
should one of them involve
your living arrangements?
The issue of downsizing
is one that many retirees
will consider. If you have
children, and they’ve
grown and left the home,
you might find yourself
with more space than you
really need. Of course, this
doesn’t necessarily mean
you must pack up and
scale down yourself. You
might love your home and
neighborhood and see no
reason to go. But if you’re
open to a change, you
could find that moving to a
smaller house, a condo or an
apartment may make sense
for you.
Let’s consider some of the
advantages of downsizing:- You could save money.
Moving to a smaller space
could lower your utility
bills and upkeep costs. - You could save effort. A
smaller home will mean less
maintenance and cleaning. - You could de-clutte r.
Over the years, most
of us accumulate more
possessions than we really
need. Downsizing gives you
a chance to de-clutter. And
you can do some good along
the way, too, because many
charitable organizations
will welcome some of your
items.- You could make money.
If you’ve had your home for
many years, it’s certainly
possible that it’s worth more
— perhaps a great deal
more — than what you paid
for it. So, when you sell it,
you could pocket a lot of
money — possibly without
being taxed on the gains.
Generally, if you’ve lived in
your home for at least two
years in the five-year period
before you sold it, you can
exclude $250,000 of capital
gains, if you’re single, or
$500,000 if you’re married
and file taxes jointly.
(You’ll want to consult
with your tax advisor,
though, before selling your
home, to ensure you’re
eligible for the exclusion,
especially if you do own
multiple homes. Issues
can arise in connection
with determining one’s
“primary” residence.)
While downsizing does
offer some potentially big
benefits, it can also entail
some drawbacks. First of
all, it’s possible that your
home might not be worth
as much as you had hoped,
which means you won’t
clear as much money from
the sale as you anticipated.
Also, If you still were
paying off a mortgage on
your bigger home, you may
have been deducting the
interest payments on your
taxes — a deduction that
might be reduced or lost to
you if you purchase a less-
expensive condo or become
a renter. Besides these
financial factors, there’s the
ordinary hassle of packing
and moving. And if you’re
going to a much smaller
living space, you may not
have much room for family
members who want to visit
or occasionally spend the
night.
So, as you can see, you’ll
need to weigh a variety
of financial, practical and
emotional issues when
deciding whether to
downsize. And you will also
want to communicate your
thoughts to grown children
or other family members
who may someday have
reason to be involved in
your living space. In short,
it’s a big decision — so give
it the attention it deserves.This article was written
