1. Understanding Why You’re Downsizing
Take time to clarify your goals:
- Want to reduce maintenance?
- Seeking a one-level home?
- Moving closer to family or healthcare services?
- Looking for a sense of community or more free time?
Tip: Write down your top 3 priorities. This will help guide every decision moving forward.
2. Housing Options to Consider
Here are a few common choices for seniors:
- Single-Story Homes – Comfortable and easy to navigate.
- 55+ Communities – Social, low-maintenance living with like-minded neighbors.
- Condos or Townhomes – Often include amenities and reduced upkeep.
- Independent Living Communities – Housing with optional services (meals, housekeeping, social activities).
- Moving in with Family – A chance to stay connected, with a few important logistics to plan ahead.
3. Planning the Transition
- Moving can feel overwhelming, but planning helps:
- Create a timeline: 3–6 months is ideal.
- Sort & simplify: Decide what to keep, donate, give away, or sell.
- Document your assets: Take photos and create a list for reference.
- Talk with loved ones: Let your family know your plans and needs.
Tip: Downsizing is also a chance to revisit what truly matters—and make room for it.
