By Debbi DiMaggio, Senior Real Estate Specialist

Did you know that Baby Boomers hold more home equity than any other generation? After decades of homeownership, many Boomers are now sitting on a goldmine. In fact, according to recent studies, Baby Boomers control over 40% of the nation’s housing wealth. Yet many remain in large homes that no longer suit their current lifestyle—homes that are filled with memories, yes, but also stairs, unused rooms, and maintenance demands.
As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and downsizing expert, I help Baby Boomers and seniors make sense of their options—and more importantly, their opportunities.
Whether it’s the desire to be closer to family, explore a new lifestyle, or simplify your surroundings, many seniors are beginning to ask:
“What’s next for me?”
With today’s real estate market still seeing steady demand, this is an ideal time to unlock the equity you’ve built and use it to fund a new chapter of your life—one filled with freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind.
Let’s face it—selling a home after 20, 30, or even 40+ years can feel overwhelming. The emotional weight, the logistics, and the “Where do I start?” questions can stall progress before it even begins.
That’s where I come in.
As the founder of Seniors Next Chapter, I specialize in supporting seniors and their families through this exact process. I combine deep real estate expertise with compassion, patience, and a carefully curated network of trusted professionals—from movers to estate sale organizers, home stagers to contractors.
Whether you’re ready to move in the next few months or just beginning to think about the future, it’s never too early to start a conversation.
If you’re curious about your home’s value, the current market, or what’s possible with the equity you’ve built over the years, I’d be honored to help.
