Determine Your Goals
Think about why you want to downsize and what your goals are. Knowing your goals can help guide your decisions throughout the downsizing process
Assess Your Current Home
Take a close look at your current home and make a list of the features that are important to you. This can help you determine what you want to keep and what you can let go of.
Declutter & Organize
Downsizing often requires letting go of some belongings. Go through your possessions and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or discard. This can be a great opportunity to organize your belongings and simplify your life.
Consider Storage Options
If you have items that you don’t want to get rid of but won’t fit in your new home, consider renting a storage unit. This can provide extra space for your belongings without cluttering up your new home.
Plan Your Move
Downsizing can be stressful, so it’s important to plan your move carefully. Make a checklist of everything you need to do, from packing and moving to changing your address and setting up utilities in your new home.
