For those who may be on the fence about purchasing a home elevator, we offer several reasons in favor of it that you may or may not have considered. We have been in the business for a long time now, and we have seen how home elevators can improve people’s lives. We thought we’d share a few of the most common reasons.
First of all, people can keep their family homes, age in place, and maintain the independence and freedom they desire. It can be painful for someone with the mental faculties to live in a home to lose it simply due to mobility issues. A home elevator solves this by making a multi-level home just as accessible as a single-level home.
Next, once it is time to sell your home, you have something of extra value to separate it from competition in the market. An elevator provides extra convenience for people of all ages and abilities. It also means that buyers who may like living in a multi-level home can consider your home, whether or not they have mobility issues themselves. A broader buying market is always to the seller’s advantage.
And finally, it’s even possible to receive tax breaks on your home elevator purchase. When purchased as a medical necessity, a home elevator often qualifies as part of overall medical expenses. Not only do you get the solution you need to overcome your mobility obstacles, you may be eligible to write it off, as well!
Ultimately, there are dozens of reasons to install a home elevator. If you are curious about how to do it and whether it may be right for your home, please feel free to contact us for a consultation today.
