Sale prices are hovering around decade highs, which means you could walk away from your home with a nice profit to invest in your retirement. However, be sure to inquire with your life plan community counselor about timing because many communities have wait lists. Homestead Village recommends not listing your home for sale until a campus home has been offered to you; unless you have a back up plan for temporary housing. Once you are offered an available home at Homestead Village, you then have three months from reserving the home until you would be asked to move in. This is typically enough time for someone to sell their home and make the move.
