Is Downsizing your home right for you?



The number of Zoomers choosing to downsize from their current homes to a more manageably sized one is on the rise. Many say continuing to maintain a large family home can be difficult –  both physically and financially

Some of the Advantages to downsizing may include:

Having more amenities such as access to a pool, golf course or gym
Not having to shovel snow or mow the lawn
Increased social interaction with other 50-plus residents

Emotional considerations: 
Your Property value
Financial considerations
The condo lifestyle
