Is it time to downsize your home?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner 01293735 CA

Each day as a real estate broker I have older people ( over 50 years old) wanting to move to smaller homes. Many of these people have several homes over 3000 feet each. They want to have only 1-2 homes and no more than 3000 square foot each.

Less is more now to many people. As a rel estate broker I watch these people come and go to their various homes. They do have a wonderful life, but seem to be always in action anot able to settle and stay with calmness and simplicity.

Many years ago I spent about 2 years traveling during my transitioning from Iowa to California. I learned there is a lot of time and money too involved in owning more than one home. I felt like I was never in the right place at the right time.

I also learned to downsize the size of my homes. Now that I am in a 1750 square foot home I am so grateful and so happy. Since 1976, my minimal home size was 3500 square feet. I cannot believe I was so blindsighted that I did not need such a large home.

Are you ready to have a simpler, calmer, peaceful life, and less expensive too? Now is the time.

Lori...as the U.S. population continues to age...and folks continue to live longer...this is a trend (along with 1 story homes or master bedroom down) that will continue...good post.

Hi Lori,

I've noticed a lot of people over 55 are moving to smaller homes and live more simply.

We have a rather large home but we both have home offices here and we both like having our own den.
