Life consists of stages characterized by changes in tastes, needs, desires and goals, and each of these cycles also corresponds to a different type of home. The real estate market has grown enough to meet these changes and provide adequate housing that accompanies your lifestyle, regardless of the stage from which you come and to which you are heading.

Young adult – Single life

Apartments, mainly, are the most common option for this first stage of independent living. Because time is mostly spent at college and/or work, getting a small and comfortable place works very well. It is the ideal place to have your own space and at the same time to be able to invite friends over.

Similarly, the apartments, studios or towers, offer the option of renting between several people, which can result in an economic benefit and at the same time an opportunity to make new friends.

These type of housing for millennials turns out to be very convenient because it is easy to clean, comfortable and a fun space. Apart from the fact that they are generally located in central areas, close to the study centers, work and entertainment places.

Adulthood – Upcoming family

On the other hand, when you grow up it is natural to settle down and start your own family. At this time, the needs become very different and what is sought in terms of housing is a spacious, well located and safe place.

Not only you do consider the characteristics of the house, how big it is,  but it is also important to evaluate the environment. Several questions arise here, such as “How safe is this neighborhood? How far is it from x dot? How are the neighbors?”, Among others.

However, other financial options are also opened apart from renting: you can look to build your own house or buy one in a residential complex, etc.

These are the strongest options, since having your own home is an investment that gives your family’s future greater security.

Senior adulthood – Retirement

Once the children grow up and “leave the nest”, it is usual for older people to feel alone in a house that is too big and sometimes even uncomfortable (stairs and rooms that are no longer used). Maintenance and costs can be exhausting, so it is a good time to invest in a new housing style.

“Although some of the variations in the health of older people are genetic, physical and social environments are of great importance, particularly homes, neighborhoods and communities.”

Considering that in this moment of life, people are already retired and the maintenance of their children does not fall on them, they have greater savings and much more time for themselves. This indicates that the priority is to find a comfortable place for you and your partner where you can look for a quiet lifestyle and get away from the busy big cities.

Two-bedroom houses in residential areas attract a lot of attention, because they offer you a relaxed, clean and safe environment, where you can attend your friends and family when they visit you. Also having a country or beach house is the ideal option to invest in yourself and enjoy the harvest of your years of work.

Finally, you can see how the varied housing options are designed to adjust to the different stages of your life. So that you can enjoy and make the most of each one!
