Do You Really Need to Downsize?

One of the more difficult decisions that homeowners must make at one time or another is whether or not their current property matches lifestyle needs. In particular, those who retire often considering downsizing into a small condo rather than dealing with maintaining the home they already own.

Typically, downsizing is considered one step closer to freedom. However, there are consequences that homeowners need to consider before getting rid of their current property in favour of a smaller living space.

Cramped Quarters

One of the most obvious drawbacks of downsizing your home is the significant reduction in space. Moving from a house to a condo can reduce the square-footage of your home by as much as a third or more.

This makes it more difficult for you to host family gatherings and other social events that you may be accustomed to hosting. You also have to make difficult decisions in terms of the furniture, art and other cherished items that you choose to bring with you. Instead of enjoying these and other objects you’ve collected over time, many of these will have to be stuck in storage, sold or given away.

If you’re used to having a large kitchen or a spacious bathroom, downsizing will require an adjustment on your behalf to get used to your new surroundings.

Unexpected Costs

Saving money is one reason why some home buyers want to downsize into a condo. However, the costs involved in selling and moving may end up eating into the savings more than expected. Commission and taxes reduce the profit of home sales.

Condo fees represent another siphon that sharply reduces the profitability of downsizing. Living in a downtown condo, especially often increases the cost of living in terms of energy, fuel, food and other day-to-day necessities.

Moving away from your old neighbourhood may make it more difficult for you to keep in touch with family and friends. Rather than entertaining your loved ones at home, you may have to travel long distances to visit them instead, especially if you’ve chosen a small space in a densely populated downtown neighbourhood.

The lack of green space is one of the biggest complaints that people register against condominium living. People tend to feel more relaxed when surrounded by some sort of greenery, whether it’s a lawn, garden or trees. Condos are typically built in a concrete jungle setting, which you may find off-putting.

Rather than downsizing into a condo, you can opt to switch into a newly built home through a developer like Previn Court. There’s no need to rush into a smaller space when you have the option of living in a home that doesn’t force you to compromise the lifestyle that you love.

Most of our buyers are from the south. Why?  Our Price and Superior Location with schools, trails and amenities just steps away. Plus, we are the only builder that offers Brick and Stone consistently throughout  our subdivision.  Our buyers come to shop in our boutique style Victorian Village site, because we are unique. That is the key difference.  We stay away from that typical ‘cookie cutter’ subdivision look.  We are an elegant looking community.  One just has to drive through to see the unbelievable difference.

With Alliston being the next ‘it’ place to live, with lower prices and country feel community we expect to see more and more families from the south.  Some escaping the crazy prices, some escaping the crazy life style that they don’t want their children exposed to.  With Toronto being about an hour commute, Brampton about 45 minutes, Bolton 30 minutes for work, it really is a no brainer.  I would rather commute and raise my children in smaller, friendly, laid back neighbourhood  than a hostile, toxic environment.  What wouldn’t we do for our kids. After all, they are our little loves of our lives.

I have lived up this way since 1996.  I remember first living here, thinking, where am I going to shop?  I need a mall! Help!  As time went on, the mall trips became less frequent, I have it down to maybe once a year, even then I resent that I have to go.  I have discovered local shopping.  I have also discovered a lot of quaint towns within about 50 km radius, where I won’t find the same thing I would find in a mall, plus the different restaurants instead of the boring chain restaurants.  I like to make a day of it.  Walk a lovely down town, stop for a locally brewed coffee, with perhaps a pastry.  Continue on my shopping trek, stop at quaint restaurant for lunch and back out I go. My friends love coming for a visit and we venture out for the day like this.  Everyone becomes in different state of mind, calm.

With our Victorian Village site, I am encountering more and more purchasers who are feeling the same way, and are following  what I had discovered.  They are also now saying they can’t imagine living any where else.  The only regret they have, is not moving here sooner!

For those who have managed to save up some money during the recession and are now ready to upgrade their homes to suit personal preferences, it’s about time to check out some of the trending upgrade options, and make sure that the savings are well-invested. Let’s take a look at some of the home upgrades that go well with almost all types of homes – extensive or compact, contemporary or vintage.

Trending Home Upgrades

Upgrades are the best way to spruce up homes with additional features. However, there’s always bound to be a trade-off between the wish-list and the budget. Being aware of the options available and making an informed decision will certainly make the process more enjoyable and pocket friendly.
Upgrade and remodeling trends this year include some evergreen options, plus new designs that cater to changing lifestyles.

Revamped Kitchen Spaces

Kitchen upgrades are all-time favorites and never quite go out of fashion. Islands, floating shelves, custom cabinets, extra-tall storage spaces, cabinet and counter-top lighting, premium hinges, joinery, soft close cabinets and drawers, metallic finishes, stainless steel cook tops and ranges are just a few ways in which the kitchen can be upgraded.
New homes, however, can be designed to maintain bar and counter-tops at the same level. Exotic granites, marble, quartz and metal counter-tops are highly favored.

Open Floor Plans

Homes, both small and large, are being upgraded to open floor patterns to enhance the spaciousness. Merging kitchen, dining and living spaces, and demarcating areas with functional pieces of furniture is now very popular.

Wooden Flooring

Wood adds a touch of class and warmth to a home and has an impeccable visual appeal, especially in open floor plans. Easy maintenance and durability are also other benefits that come with wooden floors.

Separate Tiled Showers

Bathtubs are slowly becoming history, except for standalone pieces in large bathrooms. High-tech plumbing fixtures are very much in vogue. Showers now have a special appeal and exclusive tiled space with a glass door!
Homeowners are free to experiment with an assortment of vintage and contemporary designs to create a personalized décor. Antique light fixtures and furniture can be matched with existing home décor to still fall in line with the upgrade trends.

Points to Keep in Mind

• It is important to realize that not all upgrades are expensive
• Home upgrades, though intended to enhance the visual appeal and functional ease of any given space, should be suitable for the entire family.
Upgrading a home is not as easy as it sounds. It requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. Once you’ve made the decision to upgrade your home, you should hire a contractor to get the job done.
