Size DOES matter

We’ve all heard the phrase “size doesn’t matter,” and many times, it’s true. However, there is one instance where square footage plays a role in your well-being – just not in the way you think. Here’s why less really is more when it comes to downsized homes.

Room for what matters

Many people buy their dream home hoping to impress others, surrounding themselves with spaces and features they rarely use. But when they downsize, they realize how little they miss about their old home. Instead, what’s focused on is spending quality time in the space they have – with the people they really care about.

Less time on maintenance

When you downsize your home, you will be shocked – shocked – at all the free time you suddenly have. Where does it all come from? Well, it’s the time you formerly spent doing things like weeding the enormous garden, mowing the gargantuan lawn and cleaning the cavernous kitchen. More hours to spend relaxing in your smaller home? Yes, please!

More moola

Just as you’ll suddenly have more free time when you downsize, you’re likely to have more money as well. Heating, cooling, painting, property taxes and other regular expenses of a large home can eat into your budget. But no more! From now on, your money will be right where you want it – still folded up in your pocket!
