If you are watching the real estate market closely as we do here at the Coldwell Banker Myrtle Beach offices, you may have noticed an interesting change. It seems that more and more families all up and down the east coast are feeling unsettled. It is called the Empty Nester Syndrome.
It may take a few months after the last child has left for the dust to settle, but when empty nesters finally look up, many find that the very same household that seemed barely able to accommodate the family now looks?sort of large. Large and a bit empty; the home they always loved is now an echoing, dust-gathering, property tax-attracting void. Except for holiday gatherings, their family homestead is beginning to look like an expensive, maintenance dollar-sucking- well, you get the picture!
It can happen at any time, but usually it will follow a moment (perhaps after a heater breakdown or surveying the clutter in one of the now-unoccupied kids? bedrooms) when the homeowners begin to feel strangely attracted to something else. And once its time to move, all bets are off; maybe it is the time to really move! Maybe it is the time to change states and move to Myrtle Beach, and not even into the same type of place.
?Small is the new big,? is the way one of our Coldwell Banker Myrtle Beach real estate agents in a luxury community put it. Not only is a town home more practical when it comes to upkeep and maintenance, but as the long-predicted demographic tsunami of Baby Boomers breaks hard onto the shores of retirement here in Myrtle Beach, viewing town homes for sale is actually beginning to become quite fashionable. Imagine: leaving behind the hassle of large home repairs and large utility bills in favor of community-manicured walkways and (pat self on back) a smaller eco-footprint near the beach.
At Coldwell Banker real estate here in Myrtle Beach, we have noticed that many of the town homes for sale are in truth the size of a small house. As such, they can be a nice compromise between the big house you are selling and other options for downsizing like condos or apartments. On the plus side, a Myrtle Beach town home is often more private than a condominium and can feature 1- or 2-car garages, private decks or even small patios or yards.
If you are considering downsizing and would like to learn more about Myrtle Beach town homes for sale, call me today Here at Coldwell Banker Myrtle Beach. I can show you listings that fit your style and budget ? ones that might just turn into the next important step in your life! Deb Lewis. Coldwell Banker Myrtle Beach, Chicora Real Estate.
