For many retirees, paying off the house feels like crossing the finish line, but what happens when that home becomes a source of rising costs, repairs, and financial stress? In this episode of Jacksonville's Retirement Coach, Adam Wolf explores the realities of homeownership in retirement. From property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs to mortgage payoff decisions, downsizing, and relocation strategies, Adam discusses the financial trade-offs retirees should consider before making a move. He also explains why a home can be both a valuable asset and an ongoing liability, and how thoughtful planning can help retirees evaluate whether staying put, downsizing, or relocating makes the most sense for their goals and lifestyle.
