8 Things to Know BEFORE You Enter A New Home Builders Model Homes and Sales Office

It is important for you to understand.

You have the right to be represented by a Realtor when buying a new construction home.
BUT your Realtor MUST be with you on your FIRST visit to the new home builder’s sales office and register you!
You will NOT PAY MORE to have US represent you when buying a new construction home in Tucson, AZ.

If you don’t have a Realtor with you on your first visit – KNOW THIS

The sales agent at the builder’s sales office works for the builder, NOT YOU!
They will ask you to “register” when you come in – or shortly after.
If you register, you are GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT to be represented by a Realtor at that builder’s site in the future.
Chances are the builder’s sales agent WILL NOT disclose this to you!
If you register at the builder’s site, you are on your own to work through the builder’s contract and all purchase decisions. Yes, the builder’s sales agent will work with you through the paperwork. They will answer your questions. BUT with who in mind? You or the builder they work for? Will they tell you there are homes for sale with the floor plan you want that may be less than it will cost you to build it?

55+ Communities In Arizona

Epic Demand For 55+ Communities in Arizona

The First Active Adult Community in Arizona Was “Sun City”

The idea for 55+ communities started in Arizona when Del Webb developed Sun City Arizona. It was not only the first 55+ community in Arizona, but it was also the first in the United States. Sun City, Arizona opened on New Year’s Day 1960.

It is hard to believe, but 100,000 visitors toured the property during the first weekend. And 400 homes sold during the first month. 2,000 in the first year. Today, it is one of Arizona’s largest 55+ communities with 26,000 homes and 40,000 full and part-time residents.

Along with the homes, Sun City has 11 golf courses and countless amenities and social clubs. The demand for adult communities is as strong as it was in 1960.

Arizona and Florida have built 55+ communities for retired “boomers” and future retirees. Florida boasts over three hundred 55+ communities. Florida has more to meet the demand from the megalopolis in the Northeast.

Arizona has over one hundred 55+ communities. And almost half of those are in Tucson and Southern Arizona.

New home builders are not only building homes, but they are also creating active adult lifestyles.

As with most things, there are pros and cons in the decision-making process. But we suggest the pros far out weight the cons when considering Tucson, AZ.

The GREATER Tucson Area Has 20 55+ Adult Communities

The most popular 55+ communities in Tucson Arizona are.

Sun City Oro Valley Arizona (by Del Webb)

SaddleBrooke AZ (by Robson)

Quail Creek in Green Valley AZ (by Robson)

Perfect Home For Your Retirement

Creating The Perfect Home For Your Retirement

Moving home in retirement is common as people decide to downsize, move closer to family, or just move somewhere warmer. Whatever the reason, here are some tips to help make your perfect home for your retirement.

Take What You Need

Use moving as an opportunity to de-clutter. Don’t leave behind sentimental items, but give real thought to what is important to you. Don’t bring anything you wouldn’t miss after a few months.

Consider Safety

If you need handrails, shower seats, or stair-lifts in your home, make their installation a priority. Even small changes, like slip-proof mats, will make your new home much more secure. Make sure alarms are installed and working, too. The more secure you feel, the quicker you will settle in and start feeling at home.

Create a Checklist

Small admin tasks will pile up while moving. For instance, you will need to set up or move your utilities. These are each straightforward tasks in isolation, but you will need to contact your phone, gas, electricity, internet, etc. providers separately. Create an organized task list to work through them methodically.

Decorate Inexpensively

Any space can be transformed with three elements: paint, plants, and lights. If any of the rooms in your new home are in need of a spruce up, get a bright color on those walls. Even painting a one-wall accent can completely change a room.

Next, place lamps and potted plants around the room. Use faux plants if you do not want to keep real ones. Add your favorite family photos and ornaments, and there you have it; a cost-effective way to bring life to any room.

Create a Workspace

If you plan on continuing to work from home, whether part-time, consulting, or on a personal project, Oberer Homes suggests ensuring the office space in your new house reflects your needs.

Create a little corner with a desk to work from and use design tools to differentiate it from the rest of the room, such as a different wall covering or a room divider. Decorate the space with plants, photos, and books to create a pleasant and stress-free workspace.

Don’t Forget the Garden

Now that you’ve made a welcoming interior, focus on the garden, especially if you’ve moved somewhere sunny. If you are a keen gardener, create the perfect spot to grow some fresh vegetables or beautiful flowers. If gardening isn’t your thing, this could be a great patio spot to entertain friends, or a peaceful nook to read novels.

These and more are all achievable DIY projects, either by yourself or with the help of family and friends.

Insure Your Home, Including with a Home Warranty

In addition to creating a home you love, you need to protect it. According to MoneyGeek.com, an average cost of $165 monthly for $250,000 dwelling coverage will cover homeowners insurance to protect against damages.

However, this insurance doesn’t cover systems or appliances breaking down. For this, you’ll need a home warranty and a yearly service contract to protect you against the high cost of household breakdowns.

You may be asking “are home warranties worth the cost?” but you’ll soon find that the extra protection for systems like plumbing and electrical is well worth the investment.

This is especially true if you’ve purchased a home with older installations that may either be out of warranty or about to be.

For instance, repairing an AC unit can cost up to $5,000, hardly an expense you want as you head into retirement.

The Perfect Home

Nothing is stopping you from creating the perfect home in retirement, and moving can actually help you get rid of what you don’t need and focus on creating the space that you do. If you want help finding your perfect new home, schedule a free appointment with Premier Tucson Homes today.

What Seniors Can Do To Age In Place Safely At Home

Best Way for Seniors to Be Safe at Home

Home Safety Tips for Seniors

You’ve spent years making your house into a warm and comfortable home. So, it only makes sense that you would want to age in place there.

Aging in place allows seniors to spend their golden years in their own homes. For seniors that do, safety should always be a top concern.

And it doesn’t matter whether you live in Michigan City, Indiana or Tucson, Arizona.

If you are an older adult who wants to stay in your home as you get older, consider taking these tips to heart.

You Can Make Simple Changes to Your Home

Falls can be so dangerous for seniors, and most falls happen right at home. In fact, 60% of the falls that send seniors to the hospital each year occur in the home.

There are quite a few reasons for these falls at home, but decreased vision is often the culprit.

It’s normal for our eyes to have a harder time adjusting to lighting variations as we age. That means lighting in the homes needs to have minimal fluctuations from day to night, and from room to room.

This kind of senior home modification can be simple to achieve. Add lamps, fixtures and bulbs. Especially in hallways and staircases where natural light tends to be more limited.

Of course, inconsistent lighting is not always to blame for falls at home. Many of those falls occur in the bathroom due to its inherent slippery conditions.

To make bathrooms safer for aging, remove any mats that are not skid-resistant. Then think about adding a comfortable chair to the shower or tub. and outside of the home.

Entryways are another hazard for seniors. Steps and slippery walkways are problem areas. So, take the proper steps to increase safety in these areas.

You Can also Make Changes to Your Exercise Habits

Fall prevention should always begin with home modifications. But changing your daily habits can help as well.

Aging in place means you need to help yourself stay in balance. And exercise is a powerful tool to help seniors decrease their risk of falling. Exercise improves muscle tone and balance.

Certain Medicare Advantage plans provide exercise for free. Look for a plan that includes the SilverSneakers program.

If your plan does not offer this benefit, consider changing plans. Check your eligibility and consider changing your plan during the next enrollment period.

If you can find a gym that offers tai chi classes, you may even be able to reap some added strength and balance benefits.

The slow, measured movements required by tai chi are some of the bests for increasing balance. Better balance means more stability for older adults and will help them age in place.

Plus, it’s a very safe and gentle workout for those of any age or ability. Not interested in going to the gym.
The work out at home. There are quite a few basic balance exercises you can do using your body weight.

Other Lifestyle Choices Can Help Too

Daily exercise is not the only habit that can help you make the most of your golden years. To take care of your body and brain, you also need to eat healthier foods.

Adding more sources of omega 3s. These include salmon, soybeans and certain nuts. Omega 3s help seniors avoid chronic diseases such as arthritis and heart disease.

Avoiding such deceases will provide a longer independent lifestyle.

Healthy foods will also keep your brain in better health. That can decrease the development of dementia and cognitive decline as you age.

Older adults can also boost their brain power by using memory games and puzzles. Try to do the crossword in your daily paper or pick up a book of Sudoku to keep your brain sharp and healthy.

Finally, one of the simplest things you can do to keep yourself from falling. Wear more supportive shoes.

Trade in the flip-flops for comfortable flats or sneakers with slip-resistant soles instead.

Aging in place is possible, but you have to keep your safety in mind. Make simple modifications to your home and your habits. You’ll enjoy more time in the home you spent so many years making your own.

Buying a Senior-Accessible Home

The Ins and Outs of Buying a Senior-Accessible Home

Tips On Buying an Accessible Home for Those Retirement Years

Congratulations: you’ve entered retirement! At some point in the coming years, you may have to think about buying a senior-accessible home.

Before you make a decision, there are certain things you should take into consideration, such as the location or type of neighborhood you’d like to live in.

We’re here to help you on this journey as you search for your next home that will fit your new lifestyle.

Research accessible housing.

What type of housing are you looking for? Does an apartment or single-family home fit your lifestyle better than the two-story home you raised your family in? Once you stop working and retire, you’ll need to consider how much can you afford to pay for a mortgage and if you want to be close to your family.

Take into consideration your health (as well as your spouse’s health), because if either of you has a medical condition that requires attention now or will in the future, you may want to look for housing near a medical facility.

You’ll also want to think about how much it will cost you to buy a senior-accessible home. Prior to making a purchase, it’s important to research accessible housing in your area.

Look into the neighborhood.

Senior-living neighborhoods typically offer activities and programs for the residents that live there. These activities can include golfing, dancing classes, bingo nights, field trips, fitness classes (tai chi and Zumba are popular in retirement communities), or outdoor excursions.

Research the social activities these communities offer new home buyers before you take the plunge and purchase a home. It’s important that you don’t settle, especially if you know what amenities you can’t live without, like a pool or gym.

Learn about your home amenities.

A bonus of buying a senior-accessible home is that it usually comes with amenities that regular houses don’t offer. Tour the home and make sure you understand what senior modifications come with it. Are the doorways wheelchair accessible? Is the master bedroom located on the first floor instead of the second floor, so you can avoid climbing stairs?

Are all the bathrooms in the house handicap accessible? Are there ramps throughout the home, instead of stairs? If you don’t currently suffer from a disability, it’s still important to be prepared for one you may face in the coming years, especially if you suffer a fall.

Understand your financing options

If you’re not paying cash, it’s important for you to understand your financing options when buying a retirement home. A reverse mortgage is something to be considered if you’re no longer working and don’t have an income.

If you’re over the age of 62, it’s an option you should look into, but they’re not for everyone.

In addition to the age requirement, you must have a low mortgage balance you can easily pay off or own your home outright in order to qualify. You must also be able to pay insurance and taxes, as well as any upkeep around your new home.

Prepare yourself and your home for sale

Before you move into your retirement community, you have to put your current house up for sale. It can be a bittersweet experience, but taking a few steps to get yourself and your home prepared will ease the transition.

The first thing you should do after deciding where you’ll be moving is to de-clutter and say goodbye to items you no longer need or want. Realtors suggest going through your items and asking these questions for each:

Do I want or need this?
Does it hold sentimental value?
How often do I use it?
Do I have more than one of these items?

Answering each of these questions honestly will help you determine what you should get rid of and what you’ll take with you to your new home.

Before you start showing your home, make sure you put away any personal belongings you have laying around and fix any big-ticket items in disrepair. Cleaning carpets, washing windows, and repainting walls are easy ways to give your home’s interior a refresh.

Don’t neglect the outside of your home, because curb appeal can be a big selling point. Trim your bushes, mow your lawn, and put a welcome mat outside your door. By making your home clean and presentable, prospective buyers will be able to envision themselves living there.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a senior-accessible home. Make sure to research housing options, consider what amenities you need, review your financing options, and prepare yourself and your home for sale.

A Few More Things To Consider

The new construction home contract you sign does NOT provide for inspections during construction. Why would the builder want you to inspect their work. But we believe it is important to have them done by a licensed Arizona home inspector.

We always suggest inspections occur at

Before the start of drywall
At completion of the home

You should question any builders integrity if they won’t let you do them.

These inspections show that all plumbing is in the right place for your floor plan selections. What is behind the drywall and if framing is complete. Are there broken trusses, damaged plumbing or nails through any electrical wires.

After drywall, no one knows what’s behind it.

Selling Your Home in The Greater Tucson Regional Area?

Selling a home requires more than listing it in the Tucson MLS system. It’s about marketing. Marketing through multiple online channels.

To no one’s surprise, 80% of home buyers start their search on the internet. Homes must be visible on multiple internet channels. The more visible a home is, the faster it will sell.

And the photos on the mls make a difference. You can spend lots of money on home staging, but if the photos aren’t great it doesn’t matter. Staging and stunning photos make it all come together.

For luxury listings, our drone service provides video of your home and neighborhood. This video along with professional photos helps the online buyer see and feel your home. Their “new” home.

To learn more about how we can help you sell your Tucson home, call us – 520-940-4541 – to arrange a meeting. We will visit your home and prepare a comparative market analysis.
