6 Rules for Downsizing When Moving

by | Apr 30, 2021 | Features

There are quite a few rules for downsizing when you are moving. First, make sure that you go room by room and throw things out that aren’t essential and that you haven’t used in a while. It’s also important to put your items into different categories such as keep, donate, throw out, and undecided. If you have duplicate items, make sure to discard one of them. Finally, if you aren’t going to have room for an item in your new home, simply don’t keep it.

Key Takeaways:

  • When changing locality, the opportunity is perfect to take a thorough inventory of your belongings and thereby create a more streamlined style of living.
  • Data in fact shows that more homeowners are interested in a more downsized existence over an increased one.
  • The precise numbers actually show that about 37% of homeowners are aiming to live less large, as opposed to about 23% that feel differently.

“Now, if you are downsizing more officially, for example, if you’re reducing your home’s size after retirement or simply moving into a smaller home, then this is even more important.”
