You can buy a brand new home here for under 200k. Then you can somewhat bank on not needing any repairs/replacements for about 10 years. The cost of living is about 1k per month for me, which includes taxes and bond on my new home (patio villa). You don't mention what you have in savings/investment. You really need to sit down with a financial advisor and talk this over. Some people earn money by renting out as bedroom thru Airbnb, but you don't want to do that until we have a good handle on the virus. Is hubby able to do some part time work after retirement? With your disability could you do something like pet sitting, alterations? etc. S much to think about. Best wishes.
