Whether it’s retirees moving into smaller lifestyle blocks, or parents changing living situations after all the kids have left home, there are a number of reasons why people would consider downsizing their homes.
And with Australia’s ageing population growing, downsizing might pick up even further.
If you’re interested in downsizing your Caboolture real estate, here are some tips to help streamline the process.
Make a list of ‘Must Haves’
When it comes to downsizing, we aren’t just talking about your property. Downsizing means getting rid of any stuff you no longer want or need, in order to declutter and simplify your life. So make a list of all the belongings you have that you absolutely need to keep, while putting everything else in another list.
Then go through your list of unnecessary belongings and really think about whether you need these items or not. These are the items that can be sold, given to charity, or simply thrown out.
Find a home that will suit your needs
If you’re retiring, chances are you want a home that’s easy to look after, as well as single storey. For parents that have just had kids move out, perhaps you’re looking for a property that’s much smaller and will help save you money.
