Are you thinking about downsizing after 55 but unsure where to start? Many retirees and empty nesters choose to right-size their homes to fit their evolving lifestyle. A smaller, more manageable home means less maintenance, lower expenses, and more freedom to enjoy life.

At Clarity Construction, we take pride in building more than just homes—we create communities where friendships flourish and lifestyles thrive. Recently, Bob, a proud homeowner at The Courtyards at Harvest Ridge, joined us on Hello Iowa to share why this neighborhood has been such a meaningful part of his life. "We asked, How do we want to live the next 15+ years? It gave us the flexibility to do what we love"

If you’ve been considering a move, there’s no time like the present to invest in an Epcon home. From financial incentives to lifestyle benefits, here’s why today is the right moment to make your dream a reality.

Moving can be an exciting time. It’s the perfect opportunity to start fresh and make a big change in your life. The moving process is a big undertaking, however, and it can be even more overwhelming when it involves relocating to a new state. There are a lot of things to keep in mind and to plan in preparation for your move. Not only do you need to figure out what and how to pack or donate and how to pay for the moving van, but you will also need to know how to update your car registration and driver’s license, properly file taxes, and change your address. Here are some things to keep in mind to make this big move easier.

Starting your retirement can be an emotional but exciting time. It can also cause some financial strain. It’s never too early to start planning. One of the first things you’ll need to decide when laying out a post-retirement financial plan is whether you will stay in your current home or downsize.

You found your dream home, settled in, and suddenly, 25 years (or more) have passed! Your life is dramatically different now, and you want a home that reflects it. As any veteran homeowner knows, there’s one major obstacle standing between you and your dream home: applying for the mortgage. Don’t worry, though! It’s just like riding a bike—and you don’t even need a helmet.
