BOOMERS DESIRE LOWER COST AREAS TO RETIRE!
This is a follow-up blog to: “Contra Costa County’s Future Neighborhood”. Another report came out regarding Retirement living, and since I live in Summerset, an active adult community in Brentwood, this article caught my attention.
According to a new report out by Del Webb, the new retirement destinations are North and South Carolina. The focus has gone from climate to cost, apparently with the change in most IRA and 401K accounts. Because of this, other states are moving into the top 10 places to retire. (However, California, Arizona, and Florida are still in the top 10.) Also, according to Del Webb, golf courses are no longer a necessity for the over 55 retiree. Proving this, Shea built its beautiful Vineyards property with the focus on a resort style club house surrounded by vineyards.
Thirty to Forty percent of boomers still plan to move to an new home in retirement and half of that number plan to move out-of-state. What I want to tell those 30-40% thinking of moving is to check out Brentwood’s active adult communities: Summerset (located on a golf course) and Vineyards. Brentwood has home prices that mirror 2001 housing values (Summerset), warm inland weather and three local golf courses. For more information, call at 925-852-1659. Click here to view the article.
