Annapolis a fab Community for Retirement

Downsizing or Purchasing? Regardless in Retirement Its Your Choice

During our golden age of retirement, we often think about how to better expand our money. After all, the objective is to last longer than our cash. One strategy for many is to simplify their living arrangements.

Downsizing often decreases expenses, and it provides a previously untapped retirement fund. For many in retirement the opportunity is especially effective because their home is paid for. 

Cost Benefits of Purchasing a Smaller Home

For many retired persons a smaller home is practical. The kids have grown up and moved on, there is no longer a need for all those unattended to rooms. Its a wonderful way to reduce expenses on maintenance, cleaning supplies, utilities and the list goes on.

The tax benefits is what leads most if not all to home ownership, however with earnings reduced the need for a large tax right off is no longer. In fact many seniors are able to qualify for a tax reduction on their personal property taxes, through their local or state government. Downsizing your home allows many to downsize their way of life as a whole. A huge load off that allows persons in retirement to start living and enjoying themselves.

The Golden Years---Where to Spend them?

Why is Annapolis a wonderful community with which to retire to? Many may ask. Annapolis offers the tranquility of a water enthused backdrop with a splash of nightlife and a myriad of shopping alternatives. Not to mention the wonderful housing options that exist. Live close to the waterfront and enjoy the sweet communities of Gingerville and Herald Harbor just steps from Annapolis. These communities offer the quintessential charm of old shops, homes and buildings turned into fantastic mom and pop dining and boutiques, that you just won't find in  the mall. Coffee shops and cupcake eateries line the streets and add to the sweetness of the atmosphere. 

Want to live in the mecca of shopping, dining and the nuances of high rise luxury buildings complete with concierge services? Then Parole and West Streets are more your style. Walk to national stores and enjoy quaint wine boutiques that offer private tastings for you and few friends.


Why shouldn't retirement be the best time of your life? Annapolis Town Center allows for wonderful living, you can escape to the gym upstairs, enjoy a cup of tea or your favorite smoothie at Whole Foods. Not to mention the enjoyment of fun and fabulous dining at the following places....

What if You Want a Bigger House?

Some retired persons aren't enthusiastic about downsizing: They want to "upgrade" their way of life. Perhaps you want the house large enough for your grandchildren to come stay over the summer. Some wait for retirement to finally get their dream home. If that is your style, Annapolis is still the community for you. Just across the way in the backdrops of Bestgate Road sites the diminutive community of Monticello. That's not to say it lacks anything in character. Monticello is a well thought out community of gorgeous single family 4 to 5 bedroom homes, beautiful landscape and a private pool and clubhouse. Who wouldn't want to be a resident at Monticello! 

Best of all Annapolis Mall is literally in your purview. Walk across the street and be at the finest of national chains. 

Retirement is a golden time where there should be more enjoyment and less hassle. If you've planned well you can have the style of living you desire. Annapolis is a place that allows for a lot of latitude. All in a days "work" one can share a cup of coffee while sitting by the water, do a little shopping, purchase a vintage wine and take a stroll through the mall.

Oh Sandy!!! Learning to be thankful....

Sandy Making History

So I'm stuck in doors like everyone else on this bleary day...waiting for the storm to pass us by. Oh Sandy!!! During which time I am staying positive and thinking about how grateful that I am, because although we may suffer some damage nothing can be said for the damage from victims in the past Hurricanes like Katrina or the magnitude earthquake that struck Japan in 2011 and not to forget the damage that happened in Haiti from the earthquake in 2010. Many of these places, with people just like you and me, are still suffering from these devastating natural disasters. Meanwhile we get extra "goodies" and videos to ride out the storm. Almost feels like fun in amidst a bit of trepidation.

Not at all to minimize real concerns and fears of many on the East Coast. Especially as Sandy really makes it way in here beginning this evening on into Tuesday, we truly don't know what lies ahead. It makes you stop and think how important it is to be a good neighbor and look out for the interest of others.  When you get a moment take a look at these staggering statistics comparing some of the most devastating hurricanes to one another. Hurricanes that made their Mark!! Makes you take a second glance and have real respect for the laws of nature. So keep safe through it all and hopefully the damage will be minimum to none at all.

Few rules of thumb for property homeowners who have sustained some damage from the storm:
1. Take Photos of all damage
2. Save receipts if you repair or replace anything on your own
3. Do your best to try to prevent the spread of water. Check your SUMP PUMP every few hours
4. Seal off broken glass 

If you do sustain damage to your property, there COULD be substantial delays in getting workers out to fix the problem. Please don't hesitate to call a contractor before your claims adjuster is assigned to you from your respective insurance company. This can speed up the process of having your property taken care of. If you're not sure if you're covered, call your local insurance agent and ask about your coverage. 

The MRE Group is riding out 2012 with you! Be safe!!!
