📱 Apple is partnering with Klarna to let you lease iPhones. According to Bloomberg, Apple will soon announce Apple Upgrade, a subscription program that will allow users to lease iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Apple Watches with backing from buy now, pay later company Klarna. Similar to car leases, users will reportedly be able to pay off their devices early, upgrade or keep them at the end of the term, or return them. The company plans to market the initiative as a way to make payments lower than existing financing options, Bloomberg reported. Apple Upgrade is set to roll out in the US on July 28.

Would you consider this? Just curious...

This is National stats, in our area as we stand, the prices of heat, fuel and taxes can be more outweighing the decision to age in place. Who can afford to care, heat, maintain a large home that the housecleaner keeps dusting!

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 7% of homebuyers aged 61 to 70 said the main reason they bought their new home was that they wanted more space, up from 4% in 2016. While there are still more downsizers than upsizers among this demographic, thinking bigger is becoming more popular.

The seniors have it
With “it” being large houses and purchasing power. Boomers and older Americans:

Owned 28% of US homes with three or more bedrooms in 2024, according to Redfin.
Account for 42% of current homebuyers, according to the NAR.
Hold around $110 trillion in wealth, per the Wall Street Journal.
The outlet profiled many well-off boomers who want to age in place, prompting them to buy larger homes they can modify to suit their health needs, guests, and even their collections.

However, the boomer bottleneck in the housing market has conspired with other economic forces to limit homebuyer affordability. The NAR said it fell for the fifth straight month in June, and that the median price of an existing home of any type in the US hit an all-time high: $440,600
