Helping Seniors Downsize
Many times, downsizing happens very fast for seniors, It can also be an emotional part of someone’s life. Per a study from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, 27% of all American renters are over the age of 55 and they were 44% of the rent growth in the United States of America from 2005 to 2016.
It can be a great choice to eliminate taking care of a home, walking up and down multiple levels of stairs, sifting through clutter and having money to enjoy for retirement. But the first questions many seniors ask are– how do I downsize, what is the first step and how do I make sense of it all? Downsizing is never easy an easy option. Switching from the comfort and familiarity of living in a big home with lots of space and all of its memories, to a much smaller, unfamiliar area can be overwhelming, stressful and impossible to do on your own.
