Fox Run makes it easy to sell your house and move. How?

Fox Run piloted a program with dramatic, proven results: Moving Home. This program slashed the average days on market of its houses in half. According to the Detroit News, the average house in the Detroit area takes 150 days to sell; however, folks using Moving Home sell their houses in 64 days, on average. Tom Cain, who moved to Fox Run from Novi and used the Moving Home program says, “The thought is that you have professional people who are knowledgeable … they have more than just good ideas … they have ideas that work!”

Moving Home is not just about selling houses: it is helping people with all the other details, too. What does this mean to you in your situation? Let me share with you some of the most common questions I hear about Moving Home.

A. Yes, the better you understand the program, the better you will be able to weigh your options. What I mean is this: many people develop a sense that their house, that served their purposes so well in the familyrearing stage of their life, is no longer perfectly suited for these prime retirement years. 

Still, these folks put off considering a change to a more liberating home design because they assume they cannot sell their house. So what happens is, they simply wait too long. They wait until a health issue or some emergency forces the change. And that, of course, is the absolute worst time to move.

So yes, you should learn about Moving Home now, so you can make the best decision. Because “toughing it out as long as possible” in your house generally leads to very unpleasant circumstances.
