Except, as it turns out, the Sunshine State may not be the best place to live out one’s golden years after all. Here’s the shocker: Florida was ranked only the 17th best state to retire in, according to a recent report from Bankrate.com. The personal finance website looked at the costs of living, health care quality, crime rates, cultural vitality, weather, taxes, seniors’ overall well-being, and the number of other seniors in all 50 states. So where should they go instead? New Hampshire, of course. Wait, what?! That’s right. The cold, snowy Northeastern state earned high marks for having low crime and tax rates (except for those sky-high property taxes). “A lot of the states that made our top five are not places that people usually think of when they think of retirement destinations,” says data analyst Claes Bell, who wrote the Bankrate.com report. “But there’s more to a good place to retire than good weather.” The state rose from the 15th spot on last year’s ranking after Bankrate.com rejiggered the weighting of its criteria to what’s most important to retirees—adding culture (or things to do) and the number of fellow seniors. That change actually boosted Florida 11 spots above its position last year. But it still didn’t come close to cracking the top 10. Florida didn’t make the top 10 because it “has issues with its crime rate and its cost of living is relatively high compared to other states. The health care quality is also a little problematic,” Bell says. And the revised methodology put a new light on places that are seeing an incursion of older folks, many of them returning after spending years elsewhere. That’s certainly the case in New Hampshire. Many of Portsmouth, NH–based Realtor® Stephen Oates‘ older clients are moving back to the state’s coastline because they have a connection to the area. “I’ve seen more people coming back from the South,” says Oates, of the Bean Group. “Usually they’re coming back to be closer to their grandchildren and their family.” The fact that the state doesn’t have any income tax (for those boomers still picking up consulting or freelance work) or sales tax is a bonus. And it helps make up for the fact that the coastal areas can still be fairly pricey. The other top states for retirees were Colorado, Maine, Iowa, Minnesota, Virginia, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Idaho, according to the report. The worst state for retirees? Alaska. “A lot of seniors are not going to be attracted to a place with really frigid weather that Alaska has,” Bell says. Plus, the state also has “issues with crime. Its health care quality is low, and the cost of living of there is surprisingly high.” The other bottom-dwelling states for retirees were West Virginia, Arkansas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, California, and Mississippi. But whether or not a certain state made the list shouldn’t be a reason to just pick up and move. “Most people tend to stay in their states when they retire,” says Rodney Harrell, AARP’s livable community expert, to remain close to their family and friends. “It’s relatively few that do move across the country to some relatively new state.” Those who do are looking for affordable housing and a decent cost of living, as many retirees are on fixed incomes, he says. They want to live in walkable communities with plenty of public transportation for when they are no longer able to drive. And they want lots of opportunities to socialize in their old age. “People are generally looking for a good quality of life,” Harrell says.

One deeded parking space included! via http://www.theochomesearch.com/properties/922-north-blvd-607-oak-park-il/ No one in the history of Major League Baseball closed out games like New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera. But for years now, the man who has more saves than anyone in baseball history has had a hard time finding someone to step into the box and strike a deal for his mansion in Tampa, FL. However, the Yankees legend is toeing the real estate rubber yet again and listing his home for $5.9 million. It had been listed for $8.9 million in 2010. At a discounted price, the 1.27-acre property on the banks of Lake Shore is even more enticing. The 9,000-square-foot mansion has seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms. It sits inside Avila, a gated country club community. Inside, the features are numerous. How about your own library? Not into reading? How about your own theater, billiard room (with custom bar, no less), exercise room, playroom, or loft area? The mansion also has a guesthouse and a gated motor court with a five-car garage. Downstairs, the mansion features a “state-of-the-art” kitchen and a pair of en suite bedrooms. There are three additional bedroom suites on the upper level of the home. Outside, there’s a heated pool with spa, a kitchen, and entertainment space. Oh, and one more thing: The home is being sold fully furnished. Over his 19-year career, the Panama native saved 652 games—no one in baseball history has more. He also recorded 82 wins and posted a lifetime ERA of 2.21. He made 13 All-Star teams. Rivera’s legendary status was cemented in the postseason when he helped the Yankees win five World Series. His 42 postseason saves are the most ever. The Yankees retired Rivera’s No. 42 in 2013, and he’s eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.
The post Yankees Great Mariano Rivera Takes Another Swing at Selling in Tampa appeared first on Real Estate News & Advice | realtor.com®. via http://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/mariano-rivera-tampa-mansion/ When is a home’s decor inextricable from its value? In the case of this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®, it’s hard to separate the structure from the stuff within. Our most-clicked listing is a vintage Oklahoma home filled wall to wall with captivating decor. Could it stand some editing? You bet! But the vicarious thrill we all get from peeking inside a place with one-of-a-kind taste is plainly evident in the popularity of this house. The value of the interior decor—taxidermied heads, ornate furniture, and works of art—is not factored into the home’s $525,000 list price. However, a buyer could make an offer that includes all the items. But if a buyer doesn’t step up soon, the home’s eclectic elements will be auctioned off separately later this month. This would leave an empty Gothic Tudor that’s in “pristine” condition, according to the listing agent. So, a win-win? Other winners this week include a couple of castles, an Indiana home attracting interest from across state lines, and a Mid-Century Modern gem making waves in Florida. For the full list of this week’s most popular properties, simply scroll down. 10. 9505 Lania Ln, Beverly Hills, CAPrice: $129,000,000 ——-- 9. 10000 NW 75th St, Kansas City, MOPrice: $7,800,000 ——-- 8. 7640 Manor Ave, Munster, INPrice: $142,500 “There’s a limited amount of inventory in Munster right now, and there’s nothing under $150,000 that’s move-in ready,” Thompson said. She had listed the home at a similar price in 2014, but pulled it from the market after four months with no offer. Three years later, it took only a week for multiple offers to come in. Why? Thompson said buyers are fleeing Illinois taxes and looking to buy in Indiana—which benefits cities, like Munster, that sit right across the state line. ——-- 7. Wolf Trap Lighthouse, Mathews County, VAPrice: $249,000 ——-- 6. 4949 Viento Dr, Saint Louis, MOPrice: $239,900 ——-- 5. 308 Sea Cliff Ave, San Francisco, CAPrice: $14,000,000 ——-- 4. 4856 Sailfish Dr, Ponce Inlet, FLPrice: $3,100,000 Stevens estimated the land value of this 4-acre lot along the water is $2.75 million. He’s had interest from buyers who’d like to keep the fabulous home and others who’d raze the place and start anew. We’d hate to see the home’s massive, swooping wood beams turned to splinters and the floor-to-ceiling windows come crashing down—Mid-Century Modern mavens, unite! ——-- 3. 299 Lake Rd, Ballston Lake, NYPrice: $399,000 ——-- 2. 302 S Church St, Toledo, IAPrice: $159,900 ——-- 1. 144 Fairview Ave, Ponca City, OKPrice: $525,000 This home is simply stuffed with stuff, and it’s easy to see why it racked up three times as many views as our second-place finisher. Fans of eclectic decor passed the listing far and wide this week, gawking at the overstuffed rooms done up in a style that we can only describe as “Late Taxidermy Brothel.” If a buyer wanted to swoop in and buy the entirety of the home and its contents, Jungroth said the items inside the home could be negotiated into a sale. However, she’s lined up an auction house to sell the home’s museum-quality artifacts and furnishings, possibly by the end of this month. So, if you’re interested in buying the whole enchilada as is and preserving this jam-packed gem, don’t delay!
