Waning motivation to mow the lawn may be a clue that it is time top downsize.

At some point, many homeowners decide that bigger is no longer better.

The trick is knowing when the time is right for such a move. Here are a few questions that may help answer that question:

  • Does your house feels too big, too costly?
  • Is your home just not as convenient as it once was?

If the answers are “yes,” it might be time to consider downsizing. A smaller, more manageable home could free up time and resources, allowing you to fully embrace the adventures and relaxation that retirement brings.
