In the past, retirees would stay in their houses and eventually move into an assisted living situation. As times have changed and retirees are becoming more active and staying healthier, retirement took on a new look and recreational vehicles became the standard rather than the exception. Of course, in the most recent development of the changing face of retirement, rising home prices and a faltering economy have many hold on tighter to their assets while at the same time worrying about losses in the investment portfolios.
Retiring in style and comfort a park home is therefore the latest development in the retirement saga. Retirees are becoming aware of the fact that selling their homes will leave them with a tidy sum of money and with the low prices of park homes they can afford to purchase one outright and still have a lot of money left over with which to meet their basic living expenses.
Imagine the luxury of getting rid of a piece of real estate that requires consistent maintenance and repairs in increasing frequency, and instead replace it with a beautiful, pre-manufactured home with hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings and covered patios that includes all the amenities and is brand new.
Add to this the fact that this home is big enough for one or two retirees and even features sufficient space for visiting grandkids, and the distinct ability to move it to a park of your choice in a beautiful area others can only dream of vacationing in, and before long the allure of park homes becomes clear.
