Downsizing (property)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Downsizing refers to process of moving to a property of smaller size or lesser value.[1]

Reasons to downsize[]

There are multiple reasons why a choice may be made to downsize.[2]

Difficulties with downsizing[]

Many people downsizing from a larger property to a smaller one will find their current possessions, appliances and furnishings will be unable to fit in the new smaller home.[3] Some people will find it especially difficult to accept the need to dispose of possessions, and this will cause some considerable anxiety.[4] Following a disposal methodology can be a useful approach if the task seems impossible: One approach is to determine what furniture, displayed items and commonly used items are suitable for and will fit in the new home: remaining belongings will need to be sorted into what is to be kept and what is to be disposed of.[5]

Disposal strategies[]

After the basic fundamental items that will move to the new home have been determined there will remain a set whose fate will need to be decided.[6]
