Seniors Real Estate Specialist

As Montana and the rest of the nation continue to age, communities and services continue to change all around us. The National Association of Realtors recognizes these changes and has implemented an educational curriculum around those 50+ in age. Included in the curriculum is financial considerations, living options, emotional needs and other related topics.  Currently I am the only Realtor in the Billings area to obtain the SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. 
 
Montana is predicted to have the 4th largest population of Seniors per capita within 10 years.  Billings and Missoula will continue to via for that Senior Market.  The Billings community offers several senior living options.
 
Town homes, Condos, Patio Homes: In Billings this option is available ranging from $130,000 to $400,000.  Billings has an average sale price of $180,000, while Missoula has an average sale price of well of $275,000.  Condos, patio homes and town homes usually have association management which deals with exterior maintenance of painting, roofing, lawn care and snow removal.  Approximately 20% of the Billings Multi-list service is made up of this market and for those who are traveling and/or playing this is a good choice.
 
Mobile Homes:  Many communities offer a low cost alternative for seniors on limited income.  Manufactured homes can be purchased and situated in Courts with limited services.  The typical costs range from $250 to $400 per month.  Monthly rent may include water, garage, a community room, pool and lot space.  Lawn care and snow removal is the owners responsibility, as well as approval to the court prior to occupancy is needed.
 
Retirement/Assisted Living Billings offers many choices in retirement living and assisted living arrangements.  Units range from income limitation studio apartments to deluxe 2 bedrooms with den.  They may include extras such as pools, exercise rooms, beauty salons, ice cream parlors and daily activities.  Assisted living units typically offer meal plans, medical assistance, and transportation .  Companionship and peer relationships are a large consideration for those looking at retirement or assisted living arrangements.

Mission Ridge, Beneath the Rims allows you to choose one or two bedroom floor plans that are spacious and offer an outstanding value.  Please contact me at trina@hamwey.com for more information or a personal tour of this exceptional opportunity in comfortable retirement living.
