Real Estate
Housing is the biggest financial decision of later life. We cover downsizing, relocating, ageing in place, and the arithmetic behind each — including capital gains rules, reverse mortgage costs, and home modifications.
We weigh retirement destinations on property taxes, insurance, state tax treatment and access to healthcare, rather than ranking them on climate and charm alone.
