Winter 2022
Welcome to my winter newsletter
As the weather changes we are getting use to a new property market with higher listing numbers and lower sales. After a busy market the change of pace requires a lot of patience.
I have continued to establish myself in the complex field of seniors real estate and enjoy the challenge of finding the right property for my clients. At the moment I have a two properties that would suit buyers looking for low maintenance and easy care.
We have a lovely Bethlehem property for sale that would suit a builder who is willing to take on a reclad to approximately 1/3 of the house. If you know someone who might be interested, please get in touch.
Warm regards

Seniors Real Estate
In the Quarter One 2022 Grey Power magazine, David Marshall investigated options for housing for those moving into retirement.
“Data from the 2018 Census found that a quarter of people aged 60 to 64 did not own the home they lived in. The number of retirees living in rental accommodation was expected to rise.
By 2053, almost half of over-65s would be renting, said Kay Saville-Smith a researcher from the Centre for Research Evaluation and Social Assessment (CRESA).
