The question to decide

Selling the house and moving to a region with lower living costs frees up retirement funds but moves them away from long-time friends and activities. One person looks forward to the move while the other worries about losing a familiar routine. Should the two move now, downsize within the same neighborhood, or pay to try living in the new region first?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Sell the house and move

    They gain financial room and a new life, but lose the familiar support network and assets to fall back on.

  2. Option 2

    Downsize in the current area

    They keep the relationships and cut costs, but the retirement funds they can secure are small.

  3. Option 3

    Decide after a rental trial

    They test the fit of the new life, but take on double housing costs and the loss of the present purchase offer.

Selling the current house would free up retirement funds but would put distance between them and long-time friends and volunteer relationships. Decision deadline: 28 days until the house sale offer expires.
