Should You Downsize Before Retirement?

Millions of homeowners live in large, often multi-story homes that they simply don’t need any longer. Their kids are grown and moved out. They don’t enjoy cleaning it. They can’t manage the huge yard. But they own it free and clear…so why move?

Here are some thought-provoking questions for boomers to consider.

Is your house worth enough so that you can buy a nice condo or single level home for less?

Are there desirable condos or single level homes you’d consider moving to?

Would it be more profitable to invest your equity now rather than waiting to sell when you retire?
