Are you an older adult considering moving to a smaller home? You’re not alone. According to a recent Financial Post article, a significant portion of seniors (including the young at heart!) are opting to downsize.
Everyone’s reasons for downsizing are different, but here are three commonly cited motivations for taking the plunge.
Living in a Downsized Home Is Simpler, Safer and Cheaper
A big home is fantastic when you have a family running around, when you can get up and down stairs with ease, and when you have the income to comfortably afford taxes and/or mortgage payments. But, later in life, it can become impractical. It’s difficult finishing all the house chores. The garden gets more unwieldy by the day. Your knees don’t agree with the stairs like they used to. And the monthly payments seem too high.
Downsizing can put you in a home that’s simpler, safer and less expensive. In a bungalow or condominium, you have fewer maintenance responsibilities, and the cost is significantly less. You can also choose a home that fits your accessibility needs: no stairs, no high cabinets that require stepping stools and an open layout that lets you move freely between rooms.
It’s Easy and Stress-Free with a Professional Downsizing Company
So, you’re sold on the idea of downsizing, but you’re still reticent about the process. How will you sort through all the clutter? Who will help you sell or dispose of your unwanted possessions? And how will you manage the actual move?
Luckily, the whole process is simple with a professional downsizing company. Take NEATSPACES downsizing services for example
