Downsizing - in your future?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Through my job I’ve come across a number of people who, especially after their children left home, have sold their houses in favor of condos.
Their reasons vary, but often I’m told they grew weary of cutting the yard, didn’t need two or three guest rooms, or were paying to heat a house they didn’t fully use. They wanted to downsize to a smaller place and purge their furnishings, keeping only what they really needed.
It seems many of us ride the wave of house size. I’m on my way up, having recently moved from a one-bedroom condo to a two-bedroom house. And as I hope to eventually have children, I’ll outgrow my current home and need something larger…until they leave.
How many of you have or plan to eventually leave your current home in favor of something smaller? Are you already living in that petite abode and it suits you just fine?
Lastly, do many of you have rooms you rarely enter? Was it always that way, or has it changed through the years?
