Downsizing - are you eligible for stamp duty exemptions?

Are you thinking of downsizing but not yet ready to retire from work? This could be a good time to consider moving as you may be eligible for stamp duty exemptions if you are over 55 and you buy a new home before June 2012.

This  means you could consider downsizing but enjoying the convenience of staying in your current neighbourhood close to family and friends and familiar shops, professionals and services. You will find a wide range of retirement village units and other specialist "over 55"property available if you search by area on the Seniors Housing Online website.

Or you may want to search for that idyllic retirement spot in one of your favourite holiday destinations to enjoy a life of leisure, it's all made easy on the Seniors Housing Online website.

You can take advantage of the current market conditions and the stamp duty exemption by downsizing sooner rather than later - get the benefit of downsizing the mortgage immediately, reduce your home maintenance workload, and enjoy a low maintenance "lock up and leave"  lifestyle so you can travel more and have more leisure time.

Research your options now! You can also sign up for free property alerts so you get an email notification when a new property comes up in your area of interest.  Everything from luxury resort developments to retirement villages, over 50's villages, villas and apartments for all budgets, in all areas. Even rental retirement villages are available as well as units for purchase. 

Also private sales and re-sales are featured too - and it's easy to sell your own property for a simple flat fee.  No commission - you communicate directly with potential buyers or tenants if you advertise your property on www.seniorshousingonline.com.au
