The Right Questions
- When should I list my house for sale?
- What is it worth today?
- Does my current home need sprucing up in order to sell it?
- How do I condense a house full of my belongings into an apartment?
- What do I do with the rest of my treasured things?
- What are the tax and financial implications?
The Right Decisions
- List all the things you absolutely can live without and are willing to work around – like books, dishes, art.
- Re-think your decorating style.
- Only keep pieces you absolutely love. Get rid of the rest.
- Enlist your family to help go through the memories.
- Give things to family and friends and donate to nonprofit organizations. Many of them will pick up from you for free.
- Sell things on Craigslist & Ebay. Or put things in storage.
- Use every inch of your space. Items that are just for show don’t have a place any more. Things should be either loved so dearly they are a necessity or functional.
- Sentimental pieces are the hardest to give up, so try to find ways to work them in, converting a special armoire intended for the large television -- now replaced by a flat screen TV -- into some kind of storage, for instance.
The Right Place to Start
- Room by room.
- Day by day.
- Item by item.
- Start with the easy things like clothes that have not been worn in years, dishes that are only used once in a blue moon, furniture that would obviously not fit into your new life.
The Right Reasons
- What is on your “bucket list”? Travel? Relaxing? Adventure? New experiences and new friends?
- You’ve grown impatient with waiting for a plumber or electrician to arrive and fix the latest household woe…
- Or maybe it’s just time to live MORE with LESS stuff…
No matter the reasoning, deciding to rent can be a very positive alternative to home ownership – both for your wallet and for your well-being. Our time in this world is so precious – why not spend less time dealing with the upkeep of owning a home, and more time surrounding yourself with life’s little pleasures. Rightsizing may just be the answer you’ve been looking for.
