How to Know if Downsizing Is the Right Move for You


If you’re considering downsizing, there are three questions you need to ask yourself to make sure you’re making the right decision.

There are a few questions you need to ask yourself if you’re ready to downsize into a smaller home to see if it’s the best decision for you in today’s market.

1. What is your end result? Do you just want a smaller space? Do you want to downsize your mortgage? Or do you want to move into an entirely different area?

What is your end result?

2. Where and when would you like to downsize? If the answers to these questions are positive and you’re sure you want to downsize, that will bring you to your last question.

3. What do you do now? If, for example, you’re going from 6,000 square feet to 2,500 square feet, start thinking about what you want to keep or get rid of. You should also consider hiring an estate salesperson to help you sell some of the stuff you don’t want to just give away. After that, it’s time for you to prepare the house so it shows at its best.
