Smart ways to ‘try before you buy’ when it comes to downsizing – Starts at 60

by | Oct 23, 2019 | Features

It isn’t uncommon for families to decide to downsize to rented units or retirement communities as a way to swap out their current family properties for a smaller environment. You can start out by purchasing a smaller property and renting it as a way to test the waters before you invest in a more pricey project. You could also try seeking out a retirement village. Many of these communities offer a trial period where prospective residents can test it out before they commit.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you’re unsure about downsizing, you can try renting a smaller property first, although this option comes with some additional costs and hassles.
  • Many retirement villages offer trial periods in which you can get to know the community and it’s residents before committing.
  • You can also make a short trip out to an area where you are considering retiring by taking a holiday there or renting a house for a short period of time.
