If you’re retired or planning to retire or your kids have left the nest, you may be thinking about making some changes to your current living situation. Welcome to the next chapter of your life! After years of focusing on the needs of your children whether that be the location to school and work or the size of our home in general. It’s the perfect time to downsize from your current house and build a custom home suited to your changing needs and lifestyle. Here’s a peek at what empty nesters and retirees are looking for in their dream home and the changes they are making.
First Floor Living
According to the National Association of Home Builders, 64 percent of baby boomers favor single-level living. Homebuyers ages 55 and up are looking for open plans with the master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room on the main floor. With fewer steps to climb, older adults prevent falls and harm to their joints. At P&D Builders, we can help design aspects of your home to ensure you are comfortable and able to move around easily. We can design an entryway that is easily accessible for wheelchairs, add wheelchair compatible bathing features, and much more to add safety to your new custom home.
Opting For Luxury Upgrades
One benefit of building a home when you’re older is you have more life experience and know what you like. Empty nesters might be willing to downsize square footage, but they want everything else upsized. For example, older adults want new homes with high-end features: hardwood floors, a high grade of carpet, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk-in showers, and custom cabinetry. P&D provides professional interior design and decorating services at no additional charge. This service assures that our clients will be afforded professional decorating consultation, as well as a much broader array of product offering and options from which to choose.
Low Maintenance Living
Downsizing families love the problem-free aspect of new construction after years of making costly repairs to their older homes. They want a newly built home with a warranty for added peace of mind. Building beautiful, well-crafted homes at reasonable prices is only part of the story. At P&D Builders, service before, during and after the sale is vital to ensuring total customer satisfaction. Although we are very proud that our homes require very little warranty service, when situations do arise, you can rest assured that our full time warranty manager is there to promptly service your needs. At P&D Builders, we make exceptional service a foundation upon which we build our company. In addition, each and every P&D home is certified through an independent inspection service to assure that your home meets, and most often exceeds, Energy Star certification standards. Statically our homes lead the industry in energy efficiency.
At P&D Builders, you will find an entire team of dedicated professionals with years of combined education and experience, each a specialist in their area of expertise. With this knowledge, P&D Builders creates original homes with personal attention. Retired life is what you make of it. Foremost, it’s a fantastic opportunity for expansion and adventure.
