Selling a longtime home is more than a real estate transaction—it’s a major life transition filled with emotion, financial decisions, and family considerations.

In this episode of the RetireCoast Podcast, we explore what it really means to sell a home you may have lived in for decades and move into senior living. We discuss why many seniors choose community living for connection and support, how to prepare a home for sale without unnecessary stress, and how to price and negotiate in a way that protects both value and peace of mind.

You’ll also hear guidance on:

  • Timing the sale to match life stages and health needs
  • Involving family members in the decision-making process
  • What to do with the proceeds from the sale of a home
  • Planning for senior living expenses and long-term care
  • How adult children—especially Gen X—can support parents through the transition

Whether you’re considering senior living yourself or helping a parent navigate this next chapter, this episode offers clear insight, practical advice, and reassurance during one of retirement’s most significant moments.
