So when a new client says to you "We want to downsize" mean to you?
This past week I received a call on a current listing which is 3652 sf. It is under contract so we started looking at other homes. As part of the filtering of homes to send to these new prospects I asked a few basic questions and then proceeded to send them potential homes.
After a couple of days, we spoke and decided to look at a couple of homes. One of the remarks was we want to downsize from our current 2700 sf home. When asked about what she liked, she stated "Something like your listing". That listing is 3600+sf single story with a breezeway between the house and garage so looks HUGE when viewed straight on. So ok good starting point.
But they needed to go down from their home size of 2700 sf because they were getting older. Off we go searching. Every home while beautiful seemed small (we are looking at 2200-2500 sf) and none of the masters or living areas was large enough. We are talking 250+sf masters so do I really think they can downsize and be happy?
Probably not but we'll keep looking.
