1. What Do Retirees Look for in a
Sandpiper Lakeland Fl Home For
Sale? (Part 1 of 2)

2. Retirees who are planning to relocate to
Sandpiper Lakeland Fl are looking for specific
things in their new homes and neighborhood.
As a seller of a Sandpiper Lakeland Fl home
for sale, it is important for you to know their
reasons and motivations for buying and what
they want in a home so you can make a fast
sale.

3. Why do they want to move to Sandpiper
Lakeland Fl?
In a recent survey at an Ideal Living Resort and
Retirement Expo, 56% of respondents said the main reason
they want to move to Florida is the warm weather.
The next main reason is the lower cost of living in Florida,
according to 36% of the respondents.
Finally, 33% of the respondents said that the lower income
and property taxes were the reasons they wanted to move
to Florida.

4. What are retirees looking for in a Sandpiper
Lakeland Fl home for sale?
Interior:
1. Universal design. This is one main feature
that 55+ homebuyers go after.

5. 2. Master suite on the main level. It gives easier access,
especially for feeble knees or for those requiring
wheelchairs or walkers. Retirees also prefer at least one
more en-suite bedroom with a full bath for guests in the
main level, in case a son/ daughter/ elderly parent moves
in.
3. Lever door handles. They are just a lot easier to use
compared to door knobs, for both young and old alike.
4. Shower stalls with non-skid floors. Bathrooms with
tumbled marble and glass enclosures provide easy access
while maintaining a stylish look.

6. 5. Comfort height toilets at least 6 inches higher. The
extra height of the toilet seat makes getting up easier.
6. Wider interior doors and hallways. This allows better
and easier wheelchair or walker access. Hallways should
be at least 3 feet across for wheelchair access.
Stay tuned for the next article. We’ll talk
about what retirees look for in the exteriors of
Sandpiper Lakeland Fl homes for sale.
