I Need Help Selling Mom’s House (or Dad’s House)

As our parents age, life often gets busy with our own families—sports, school events, and endless activities. Then, one day, everything changes.

Usually, it’s a phone call from the hospital.

  • Mom fell…

  • Again.

This time, it’s different. She may have broken a bone or hit her head. A doctor determines that when Mom is released, she can no longer live independently. She needs assisted living. She needs care.

How Is the Family Going to Ensure Mom Gets the Best Care?

It’s no secret that the best care communities require private payment—not government assistance.

But how is Mom’s care going to be funded?

  • Independent living typically costs $2,000–$3,000 per month.

  • Assisted living can easily cost $4,000–$8,000 per month, depending on the facility, location, and level of care.

  • Memory care often exceeds $10,000 per month.

If Mom had a great long-term care (LTC) insurance policy, that’s fantastic. However, for most seniors, the majority of their net worth is tied up in their house. Many have no LTC insurance at all.

So, Just Sell the House to Pay for Mom’s Care, Right?

Selling seems like the obvious solution, but it’s not always that simple.

  • Is Mom’s house in good condition?

  • Does it need extensive repairs?

  • Will it even meet today’s lender standards for financing?

And what about all of Mom’s belongings?

  • What needs to be donated?

  • What do family members want to keep?

  • What can be sold?

Coordinating with family members and sorting through everything can take

weeks—or even months. Often, it takes much longer than expected.
