Downsizing? Decide What Your Next Home Must Do for You

Downsizing shouldn’t begin with the question:

“What do I have to give up?”

A much more useful question is:

“What does my next home need to do for me?”

Before seriously shopping for a smaller home, identify your five most important lifestyle priorities.

They might include single-level living, outdoor space, room for hobbies, garage space, guest accommodations, proximity to healthcare or easy access to activities.

Martha’s Tip

Create two columns:

MUST HAVE
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE

This helps tremendously when two homes offer different advantages.

The goal isn’t simply fewer square feet.

The goal is a home that supports the life you want next.
