Summer Newsletter 2025

Welcome

As we head into what I hope will be an Indian Summer we are still waiting to see the real estate market pick up in 2025 like many predicted. Well priced, well maintained and well-located houses still continue to sell however if one of these items are missing then the market requires patience.

Seniors 50+ Real Estate continues to evolve with a focus on finding houses suitable for our customers who are looking for safe, low maintenance properties in communities with good amenities. If you have one coming to market, please get in touch to find out about our Indian Summer marketing special.

In this newsletter we talk about freehold villages, look at the latest market statistics and present a new property.
