by | Dec 22, 2021 | Features

If you are thinking about whether to downsize your home, there are several key factors to consider. If home maintenance is becoming too demanding, physically or mentally, then it may be time to downsize. Having unused rooms or being away from home often may be factors as well. Financially, unsustainable monthly expenses or the desire to cash in the value of your home are signs to consider downsizing. Another consideration is whether your home is a good place to age.
