Why do homeowners sell or move on an average of 5 to 7 years? This may be a shock to
some people who have lived in their homes practically half of their life. Here’s the second
part of reasons why homeowners sell their Lakeland Fl homes. If you missed part 1 of

8. Moving closer to family. As people age, they typically wish to move closer to family
and relatives. Parents like to be near their children and grandparents want to be near
their grandchildren.

9. Moving farther from family. On the flipside, some family members sell their home
and move out to a different state to put some distance between family members to keep
the peace. This usually happens to divorced or separated couples or dysfunctional
families.
10. Health issues. Physical disorders like back problems, hip replacements, or knee
problems make it for elderly homeowners to climb up and down two storey homes so it
would be more practical for them to move into a single storey Lakeland Fl home.

11. Retirement. Homebuyers over the age of 55 are typically attracted to active adult
communities or retirement communities. These communities are planned to suit the
needs of retirees and have amenities such as clubhouses, golf courses, workout facilities,
backyard barbecue parties, weekend social gatherings, and more designed for retired
homeowners.
12. Home improvement. There are some people who enjoy fixing or renovating a home
and then putting up that Lakeland Fl home for sale.

13. Deferred Maintenance. Some people prefer not to go through the hassle of
renovating or having to replace the furnace or roofing. For them, it’s easier to just buy a
new Lakeland Fl home, especially if the home they are staying in is around 15 years old
or more. They want to get out of the home before everything goes haywire.
14. Change in Lifestyle. Some people get tired of homeownership or being in one place
for years and long to spend the rest of their lives travelling or pursue a hobby, or simply
have less responsibility. So these people sell their homes and use the cash to realize
their dreams.

15. Cash through Equity. Some homeowners simply need the money. Whether they
are going through a financial hardship, or are simply afraid of another drop in home
values and want to see the profit in their hands before their home’s value depreciates.
