Selling your home in old age – a wise decision?

A look at condominiums in Radebeul and Dresden

For many people, their own home is the center of their lives for decades. However, as people get older, caring for and maintaining their beloved home becomes more difficult or even impossible and barrier-free furnishings become more important. The children have left home and so you are often alone when problems arise.

Sooner or later, the question arises: should I sell the house and move into a condominium?

Radebeul and Dresden offer ideal conditions for enjoying all the advantages of life. At HBH Immobilien, we build modern and barrier-free condominiums with individual floor plans and furnishings. We will be happy to help you find your new home!

In this article, we look at the individual aspects of selling a house in old age in terms of financial, infrastructural and emotional aspects.

Why sell your home in old age?

As the years go by, everyday things become more difficult, lifestyles and needs change over time. It therefore seems sensible to sell your home and let go of your obligations. These advantages speak in favor of selling your home in old age:

Less space required: A house offers space for the whole family. Once the children have moved out, the house often seems too big and rooms remain unused – resulting in avoidable costs, e.g. for heating or repairs.

Less responsibility: A home requires constant maintenance and care. This becomes difficult or almost impossible to manage with increasing age. With a condominium, tasks such as repairs and garden maintenance are a thing of the past, as the property management company takes care of these tasks. Plenty of time for you to enjoy the finer things in life!

Accessibility: Accessibility is an increasingly important issue in old age. Our new-build apartments are specifically tailored to your needs. Barrier-free access and elevators will make your everyday life much easier.

Radebeul – a natural oasis with history

Radebeul lies between the vineyards and the banks of the Elbe, nestled in picturesque surroundings. The landscape, paired with historical architecture, offers charming flair and is also close to the state capital of Dresden. These factors make Radebeul an ideal place to live for anyone who loves being close to nature but also wants to enjoy the benefits of the big city.

Quiet residential area close to nature: Radebeul offers a quiet residential area in natural surroundings thanks to its proximity to nature. You can leave the city in just a few minutes and spend relaxing hours in harmony with nature.

Cultural scene: Radebeul offers a lively cultural scene. From theater performances and wine festivals to the famous Karl May Festival, there are numerous cultural highlights for young and old.

An interplay of modern and historic architecture: Radebeul is home to both historic town villas and modern condominiums such as the Stadthäuser Nizza and the Townhouse Rebe.

Dresden – The lively city

Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is known for its cultural treasures and baroque architecture. For senior citizens, the city offers a wide range of housing options and amenities that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.

Cultural and medical infrastructure: Dresden has a large number of museums, theaters and concert venues. They always make life in Dresden an experience! Thanks to its many specializations and specialist clinics, Dresden is a center for medicine. The city therefore boasts an extensive medical infrastructure.

Urbanity and nature: Despite its size, Dresden has numerous green oases, such as the Großer Garten or the Elbe meadows. Here, urban life and nature can be ideally combined and you can enjoy nature despite the pulsating city.

Condominiums in central and quiet locations: in Dresden, you can live both urban and close to nature. The Haus Oberdeck offers a mix of urbanity and family-friendly surroundings, while the Stadthäuser Casa Mia allow you to enjoy life in the heart of a trendy district.

The transition to a condominium

When selling your home in old age and moving into a condominium, you will face various challenges. Thorough preparation and an emotional approach are important to ensure a smooth transition.

Plan early on: Get to grips with the subject at an early stage. This will enable you to find the perfect condominium and avoid making short-term decisions that have not been fully thought through.

Property valuation: A professional property valuation helps you to determine the sales price of your property and thus also substantiates the selection of the future condominium.

Emotional preparation: Selling your home in old age can lead to emotional challenges. Talk openly with friends and family about this topic.

The perfect condominium: first determine which factors are decisive for you. In addition to location and a good infrastructure, issues such as accessibility and proximity to medical institutions can also be decisive.

Conclusion

Selling your own home can be a difficult decision in old age. There are many emotions and memories associated with owning your own home. Nevertheless, moving into a condominium can make life much more carefree and easier. Eliminating obligations such as care and maintenance as well as barrier-free furnishing of the property can improve your quality of life and allow you to focus on the finer things in life.
