The True Cost of Staying in Your Home After 60 | Halifax Seniors Real Estate

Most people think staying in their home is the safe and simple choice. But what if staying is actually costing you more than you realize?

In this video, Halifax Seniors Real Estate Specialist Roy Thomas explains the six hidden costs of staying in your home after 60, including:

• The rising cost of maintenance and surprise repairs
• The physical and safety risks of stairs, upkeep, and aging homes
• The emotional stress of managing a large property
• The financial drain of over-housing
• The opportunity cost of delaying a simpler, more flexible lifestyle

This video is not about pushing you to move. It’s about helping you make a clear, informed decision instead of letting circumstances decide for you.
