“We love our house and our neighborhood. But our son just moved out and it’s getting too big. So we’d like to move and get a smaller house…”
Answer:
A client of mine recently reminded me that she’d asked me this same question several years ago. Here’s what I told her then:
It costs a lot of money to sell your San Diego home and buy another. And moving is a lot of work.
If you really love your home and location and only want to move because it’s a little too big, consider just shutting the extra bedroom door and pretending the room isn’t there.
Try it for a few months.
If it doesn’t work, get back to me and we’ll talk about selling your home and finding another.
