Tips For Downsizing Your Home

December 3, 2020

You need to be realistic when it comes to downsizing your home. You have to know how much available space you have in your new home. This will help you decide who much you’ll be able to use for storage. Create a list of items that you need to keep and begin there. You should be committed in retaining only the most used items so you can save as much space as possible. You always have the option to give out sentimental items or non-essential items to your friends or relatives.

Home organizing experts said, use wall mounted shelves for your special decorative or ornamental items. If you have lots of them but not enough space, your home can easily be filled with these items. To avoid that, you can arrange your personal treasures on a rotating basis over a few months.

When you reduce clutter and move into a much smaller home to have a simpler daily living, the process is referred to as downsizing.

Downsizing offers several benefits including:

Reduced real estate costs
Reduced utility costs
Less home maintenance
More free time for hobbies and travel

During the downsizing process, a senior may decide to transfer to a retirement community. In other cases, family members and caregivers help in downsizing to prepare to move into a long term care or assisted living community.

The services of senior move managers, whose work involve helping clients unclutter their homes and move, range from $40 to $125 per hour.

For some people, retirement downsizing does not involve long-planned move to a lavish condo or going through a lifetime of memorabilia and belongings that they accumulated over the past 20 years. Instead, the downsizing came unexpectedly and suddenly perhaps due to an illness, job loss, or some major personal or financial issue.

Many homeowners try to go through the tedious process of an emergency downsize on their own. But there is a growing number of people who are getting the assistance of experts in home organizing.

Seniors know that they eventually have to downsize to cut costs, simplify their lifestyle, deal with medical issues, or to be closer to their grand kids. The process is usually tolling and stressful, both physically and emotionally. However, you don’t have to feel overwhelmed. Here are a few downsizing tips for seniors.

Senior-friendly Downsizing Tips

Start Early

Give yourself enough time to downsize. The downsizing process will take longer than you expect so you need to have a lot of time to sort through all of your belongings. You can’t do this in just a single day or one weekend. Give yourself a more realistic timeframe like a few weeks or months. Work on one room at a time and make sure to take breaks as needed. You’ll find downsizing less stressful if you are not rushed.
