1. You're real estate tax bill will decrease! Sharon real estate taxes are the highest in Massachusetts. For Fiscal year 2013 the tax rate is $20.45 per thousand dollars of assessed value. That means if your home is assessed for $375,000 your taxes are $7,668.75.
2. You'll pay less for your heating and electricity bills. If your home has become too large for you, you probably are not using all of the rooms. Are there bedrooms or a formal living room that you rarely use? Unless you have rooms or areas of your home on different heating zones, you are probably paying to heat the

4. A homier feeling comes from having a house that isn't too large for you. If you have unused rooms in your home that you rarely go into, your home may start to feel less cozy. Some people describe it as "rattling around" in a too big house.

Downsizing is an opportunity to declutter and get rid of things that you've had stored in your basement, attic or garage for years...maybe decades...and don't need any longer. It's a chance to throw out the accumulation of papers, old clothes, stacks of magazines, small appliances you no longer use, and anything else that you don't see yourself keeping. It's a good feeling to move into a new home with less clutter and fewer items to store.
