Downsizing Options for Over 55s

When it comes to downsizing, over 55s have several options to consider:

  1. Retirement Villages: These communities offer independent living with shared amenities, but often come with complex contracts and deferred management fees (DMFs).

  2. Apartments: Downsizing to an apartment can provide a low-maintenance lifestyle, but may lack the sense of community and come with high strata fees.

  3. Granny Flats: Moving into a granny flat on family property can offer support and savings, but may not provide the desired level of independence.

  4. Land Lease Communities: This option, like Nexus Life, allows you to own your home, lease the land, and enjoy a vibrant community lifestyle without DMFs.

Downsizing Option Ownership Fees Lifestyle Community
Retirement Villages Lease DMFs, complex contracts Independent living Shared amenities
Apartments Own Strata fees Low-maintenance Limited sense of community
Granny Flats Own or rent Minimal Family support Dependent on family
