IS IT TIME TO "RIGHT-SIZE"?
What is "Right-Sizing"?
Right-sizing, as opposed to "downsizing", is a more holistic and personalized approach to choosing a living space that meets your specific needs and preferences, not just reducing the physical size and contents of your living space. Sometimes, it involves moving to a home that's the same size or even larger, but with a more functional floorplan. Right-sizing involves carefully evaluating various factors, such as health conditions, mobility, social needs, and lifestyle preferences. It considers not only the physical size of the living space but also its layout, accessibility features, and the level of support available within a community. The goal is to find a home that aligns with your current and anticipated future needs, allowing you to maintain a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle.
