Is It Time to “Rightsize?”: Why more homeowners are rethinking what home really means—through every season of life.

Over the years, we’ve had the honor of guiding hundreds of families through some of the most meaningful moves of their lives. Lately, one theme keeps coming up again and again: “I think it’s time for something different.”
More and more, homeowners are choosing to “rightsize”—not necessarily scaling down, but finding a home that better fits their lifestyle today. It’s less about square footage, and more about freedom, simplicity, and purpose.
Maybe you’ve been asking yourself:
– What would life look like with less maintenance—or in a new location?
– Am I still in a home that serves my current lifestyle, or one that suited a season now behind me?
– Could moving actually give me more time, energy, and flexibility?
If these questions resonate with you, you’re not alone—and your next step might be simpler than you think.
Coming Soon: Live Smart, Rightsize Your Life Workshops
This fall, we’ll be hosting a free community workshop designed specifically for homeowners who are thinking about what’s next—whether that’s in one year or five. This educational session will walk you through the practical, emotional, and financial sides of selling your home and making a transition.
Whether you’re planning to move closer to family, trade yardwork for a condo lifestyle, or help a parent make a decision about the future and need resources to help with the move and home preparations, this workshop is for you. We’ll cover topics like:
– What does it really mean to rightsize?
– The biggest mistakes sellers make when downsizing—and how to avoid them.
– How to prepare your home to sell in today’s market.
– Understanding capital gains, property tax exemptions, and other financial factors.
– Where people are going—and how to find your next best fit.
You’ll leave feeling more informed, more confident, and more in control of your timeline and transition.
