80-Year-Old Homeowner Seeks Advice on Selling Due to Stair Safety Concerns
Don’t let a low rate trap you in a dangerous home. Consider the long-term risks carefully.
Wow, $400k equity at that age is impressive! Makes the decision harder but financially sound.
Is selling really necessary? A contractor might install a ramp or stairlift for far less than the moving costs.
Safety must come first. That equity is a nice cushion for a move to single-story living.
