Show Notes

When it comes to retirement, few decisions carry as much emotional and financial weight as what to do with your home. Should you downsize, relocate, or stay put? On this episode of “Money Sense”, host Karen Ellenbecker sits down with Tammy Niemann, Wealth Advisor at Ellenbecker Investment Group, to unpack the real estate crossroads many retirees face.

Tammy breaks down key considerations retirees should evaluate, including the pros and cons of downsizing, the financial and lifestyle impact of relocating, and when staying put may make the most sense. The conversation also covers topics such as reverse mortgages, housing market dynamics, and how real estate decisions can affect cash flow, taxes, and long-term planning.

Listeners will gain clarity on how to align housing choices with personal values, lifestyle goals, and overall retirement plans, so decisions feel intentional, informed, and confident rather than overwhelming.
