Compare five housing paths for retirement: age in place, downsize, relocate to a different state, sell and rent, or move to a 55+ community. All numbers are educational estimates based on documented assumptions.
Planning guide
Moving in retirement changes taxes, insurance, healthcare access, family travel, maintenance, and lifestyle. The planner compares the whole relocation budget rather than treating a lower home price as automatic savings.
A move to a no-income-tax state can still cost more if property insurance, HOA fees, or travel back to family rise. Comparing the full budget avoids a misleading headline-tax decision.
