Downsizing: Smaller House in Roseville Area
Thinking of downsizing smaller house in Roseville area? Wondering about options in real estate Roseville California area that would help you with that? There are several options available to you depending on your needs and preferences.

One popular idea is to downsize to a smaller single story single-family home or a single story townhome. This can provide you with the space and privacy you need while still allowing you to downsize from a larger home. It also provides you safe options if ever you were to develop any health issues that would make stairs a big challenge. It provides for future safer “aging in place” options. There are many communities in Roseville that offer a range of housing options, from newer developments to established neighborhoods.
Another option is to downsize to a condominium or an apartment. This can be a great choice if you're looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle or want to be closer to amenities like shopping, dining, and entertainment. There are many condo and apartment complexes in Roseville that offer a range of amenities, such as swimming pools, fitness centers, and community rooms.
If you're looking to downsize but still want to stay in your current neighborhood or community, you may want to consider a smaller home or maybe even an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on your current property. This can allow you to stay in your familiar surroundings while still downsizing your living space. That can also open up options to help family members who might move into your existing home. OR help provide extra income by renting your bigger home out.
Another excellent option for downsizing smaller house in Roseville area is one of our lovely 55+ active senior retirement communities. They actually offer the most choices in smaller homes and the prices tend to be more reasonable than a traditional neighborhood. Check out this search for single story homes for sale in Roseville CA area that were built between 1990 – now, are a maximum of 3 bedrooms, single story homes, under 1500 square feet, with a lot that is .04 – .17 of an acre – giving you a home that should be relatively easy to maintain and clean plus has room for a little yard on up to a traditional but smaller yard. And would you believe it, only 14 houses popped up when I typed this – and most of those were in our 55+ retirement communities! You'll find more in that size if you extend the years built, but many boomers and seniors prefer newer homes, feeling that there is less maintenance needed.
Overall, downsizing in Roseville can be a great way to simplify your life and enjoy all that the area has to offer.

Bottom Line

Interest rates have increased. And with the Fed scheduled to meet again May 3, many economists anticipate another increase. But they are still lower than they were most of the winter. So if you need to buy, now is a good time, before they might go up again.
