When It’s Time To Right-Size

The kids
have moved out and it’s just the two of you. Or you’re heading towards retirement but still want to own your
home Now what? If you're finding
yourself with more room than you need in your current home or wanting to save
money for other endeavours, moving to a paired home is a smart way to
right-size. And just because you’re
right-sizing, it doesn’t mean you have to give up what you love!
When
compared to a single-family dwelling, paired homes are often more affordable
and offer a similar number of beds and baths, quality specifications, private
yard, garage and community amenities. This means
you can enjoy a great "at-home-lifestyle" and have additional funds
to apply however you desire. Buying a paired home allows you to spend less
money on a home and save more money for your future plans. Decorate your new
home, take that “bucket-list” trip or put money towards your retirement. There
are so many options with what you can do with your savings.
Another
draw to side-by-side living is the ability to have family, especially other
generations, nearby while saving on your household expenses. You have your beloved family
members close by, you all maintain your independence, but everyone has their
own private space. Some buyers also find that owning both sides of a paired home can be useful for generating
income. You can buy a paired home, live in one
side while renting out the other, and use the rent towards the mortgage. The
bonus in this scenario? By living next door, you have the ability to
watch your investment firsthand.
Paired homes have become a popular housing option across Canada based on
their convenience and affordability. Paired homes in Hawks Landing are divided through
the middle so each home is side-by-side with flexible floorplans, larger living
spaces and exceptional quality finishes. Our new home designs include two-storeys,
two-storeys with main floor masters and bungalow ranchers with garages.
