Time to downsize?

Downsizing as you approach retirement is a smart move, especially when it comes to property.

A smaller home typically requires less maintenance, which can save both time and money—valuable resources in retirement. It can also reduce utility bills, property taxes, and insurance costs.

Plus, selling a larger home may free up equity that can be used to boost retirement savings or fund lifestyle goals like travel. Overall, a more manageable living space can lead to a simpler, more financially secure, and stress-free retirement.
