For many families, the answer starts with the house. If your loved one has owned their home for years or decades, it’s likely their single largest financial asset. Turning that equity into cash through a sale can be one of the most effective ways to fund \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holidayseniorliving.com\u002Fretirement-guide\u002Ffinancial-planning-for-seniors\u002Fhow-to-cover-senior-living-costs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link has-text-holiday-content-hub-financial-planning link--is-font-secondary\">the cost of senior living\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">For many seniors, the home is their biggest asset\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Most people spend decades building equity in their home. By retirement age, that equity can represent a substantial sum, often far more than what's held in savings or retirement accounts. Yet when families start planning a move to senior living, they frequently overlook the home as a financial resource, focusing instead on Social Security income, pensions or investment accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">The reality is that for many older adults, their wealth is tied up in their home. Someone who bought their property 30 or 40 years ago may be sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity. Once that money is freed up through a sale, it can go straight toward the cost of senior living, covering \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holidayseniorliving.com\u002Fretirement-guide\u002Fretirement-living\u002Fsee-the-average-monthly-costs-for-senior-living\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link has-text-holiday-content-hub-financial-planning link--is-font-secondary\">months or even years of monthly rent\u003C\u002Fa> depending on the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">How home sale proceeds can cover the cost of senior living\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cbr>\u003Cpclass=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Once a home sells, the proceeds can go toward the monthly rent and services at a senior living community, and, if a resident wants it, any care they arrange through an outside provider. Having a lump sum on hand also gives families more freedom to choose the right community, instead of being boxed in by what monthly income alone can cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Selling also clears out expenses that don’t stop just because the house is empty. Property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, utilities and upkeep keep piling up on a vacant home. A sale ends those obligations and frees that money to go toward senior living instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">It can simplify things down the road, too. A home left behind often creates work for heirs, from deciding whether to sell, rent or manage the property to sorting out disagreements and handling the paperwork that lands on whoever \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holidayseniorliving.com\u002Fretirement-guide\u002Ffinancial-planning-for-seniors\u002Festate-planning-for-seniors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link has-text-holiday-content-hub-financial-planning link--is-font secondary\">sells the estate\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">What to do while your home is on the market\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Here’s a bind a lot of families run into: Your loved one is ready to move into a senior living community now, but the house hasn’t sold yet. Homes can take weeks or months to close, and the move can’t always wait that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">That’s where a bridge loan can help. A bridge loan is a short-term financing option that covers senior living costs while the home sale is still in progress. Once the home closes, the loan is repaid from the proceeds. It lets families settle into the right community without scrambling for cash or settling for a place that isn’t the best fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">The right real estate professional makes all the difference\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Not every real estate agent is equipped to handle the sale of an older adult’s home.

Yet when families start planning a move to senior living, they frequently overlook the home as a financial resource, focusing instead on Social Security income, pensions or investment accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">The reality is that for many older adults, their wealth is tied up in their home. Someone who bought their property 30 or 40 years ago may be sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity. Once that money is freed up through a sale, it can go straight toward the cost of senior living, covering \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holidayseniorliving.com\u002Fretirement-guide\u002Fretirement-living\u002Fsee-the-average-monthly-costs-for-senior-living\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link has-text-holiday-content-hub-financial-planning link--is-font-secondary\">months or even years of monthly rent\u003C\u002Fa> depending on the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">How home sale proceeds can cover the cost of senior living\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Once a home sells, the proceeds can go toward the monthly rent and services at a senior living community, and, if a resident wants it, any care they arrange through an outside provider. Having a lump sum on hand also gives families more freedom to choose the right community, instead of being boxed in by what monthly income alone can cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Selling also clears out expenses that don’t stop just because the house is empty. Property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, utilities and upkeep keep piling up on a vacant home. A sale ends those obligations and frees that money to go toward senior living instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">It can simplify things down the road, too. A home left behind often creates work for heirs, from deciding whether to sell, rent or manage the property to sorting out disagreements and handling the paperwork that lands on whoever \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holidayseniorliving.com\u002Fretirement-guide\u002Ffinancial-planning-for-seniors\u002Festate-planning-for-seniors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link has-text-holiday-content-hub-financial-planning link--is-font-secondary\">sells the estate\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">What to do while your home is on the market\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Here’s a bind a lot of families run into: Your loved one is ready to move into a senior living community now, but the house hasn’t sold yet. Homes can take weeks or months to close, and the move can’t always wait that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">That’s where a bridge loan can help. A bridge loan is a short-term financing option that covers senior living costs while the home sale is still in progress. Once the home closes, the loan is repaid from the proceeds. It lets families settle into the right community without scrambling for cash or settling for a place that isn’t the best fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Ch2 class=\"heading heading--is-level-2 spacing--is-mb-xsmall spacing--is-pt-small\">The right real estate professional makes all the difference\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cp class=\"copy copy--is-font-secondary\">Not every real estate agent is equipped to handle the sale of an older adult’s home.
