If you (or a loved one) find yourself facing long term or permanent health issues you may discover that your home is no longer ideal.

It may be something as common as not wanting to navigate up and down multiple levels of stairs or bathrooms that are simply too cramped. When health becomes the primary driver in reconsidering your home layout and lack of features, two options will spring to mind: Home Upgrades or Finding a different home entirely.


 

Upgrade Your Home


The biggest benefit to exploring home upgrades that will improve the quality of your life is that you ideally won’t have the hassle of moving. Most often, health related remodel projects are isolated to certain living spaces and not the entire living space. This isn’t to say that living through a remodel is ideal – it isn’t. Even the most courteous and conscientious licensed contractor is going to make a lot of noise, you’ll have people going in and out, and speaking from experience, it can sometimes feel very unsettling with plastic everywhere, daily messes, strange odors, and temporary open walls.


You really need to weigh the cost, conveniences, and benefits – and as you do, and depending on the level of work involved, you may start leaning towards finding a new home.

Finding the perfect home


Depending on the type of features or amenities you want/need, sometimes additional alterations will still be required, whether you buy a new home or stay in your current one. Yet, you may still have several potential benefits of selling your current home and buying another. Let’s say, stairs are the primary issue, your present home is a multi-level structure and you simply do not or cannot navigate the multiple levels comfortably or safely – obviously, finding a single-level structure may be the easiest solution without any hassle of remodel.


But, what if you’re looking for a bit more; you need more space to get around, perhaps a wheel chair accessible kitchen and bathroom, and other features to normalize the living environment for your situation. In this case, your next home may still require some alterations, so finding a home that will accommodate the necessary changes quickly and easily becomes a priority. If your present home has equity, perhaps your next home can be less expensive providing you with the necessary capital to make these home improvements. Also, these improvements may even be completed before you move in making it even less stressful.


Be open & transparent


Your best bet is to schedule a meeting with Jerod Lee to discuss what you need and want. They can give you insight on your local real estate market and based on your conversation point you in a direction that best matches your needs. They are even well connected with local contractors they can bring in to see the big picture.

    Jerod Lee was very awesome, the best realtor my husband and I have ever had . My husband sold our 3rd house for almost 21 yrs and he was very professional, friendly, honest, personable and not a fast talker or a game player which my husband and I have had before, he was a fresh of breath air.Jerod made selling our house fast and very easy for us since we have not lived in Idaho for 8 years and was using our house in Boise as a 2 nd home,I highly recommend Jerod as a realtor and when my husband and I do move back to Idaho., I will use Jerod once again,

    Knowledgeable, responsive, and kind -- Jerod helped us quickly navigate a challenging seller's market in downtown Boise to purchase a condo that hit each of our needs (and most of our wants).Jerod suggested offering a quick close to help bring the seller closer to our preferred price (and it worked!), and his team delivered on getting an inspection done within a few days, organizing Title, utilities, documents, etc... they were so on top of each of the details, in such a short period. Jerod responded to early morning texts and late night calls, and we appreciated his (and team's) expertise at each step.Along with the above, Jerod is wonderful to work with. He was kind and attentive to our young children, friendly and respectful to us, and expecially thoughtful to our COVID concerns. His team left us the wonderful surprise of an Idaho gift basked when we moved in, and Jerod treated us to a celebratory lunch at a cafe down the block. We'll look forward to staying in touch, even when not buying/selling a home.

    I could not have asked for a better home buying experience. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and not the most knowledgeable on the process. Jerod is extremely transparent, knowledgeable and a delight to work with. He is communicative in all aspects and will explain anything you want to know about the process. He made my home purchase a breeze and I will gladly work with him again. I highly recommend anybody to work with Jerod for their real estate needs. True professional.
