by Lisa Loesel

WSJ reports boomers aren’t downsizing — they’re upsizing with bigger kitchens, ADUs, and first‑floor suites. Aging in place is becoming a lifestyle upgrade, not a reduction.

👉 If you’re thinking about your next‑chapter home — whether it’s cozy, coastal, or a full‑on family‑friendly upgrade — let’s talk about what fits your lifestyle today and tomorrow.

Contact Jerry Garner Mutual of Omaha Mortgage for more information on the Lifestyle Loan as a part of your retirement toolbox!
