Downsizing & Transitioning

Selling a long-time family home in Toronto is a major life event. It’s not just about moving—it’s about rightsizing your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a retirement condo in downtown Toronto or a smaller home near family, it’s important to plan carefully.

When Is the Right Time to Downsize?

Signs it may be time to downsize your home in Toronto:

  • High maintenance costs are draining your retirement savings.
  • Your home no longer meets your mobility needs.
  • You want to move closer to family or medical services.
  • The idea of living in a condo with amenities for seniors appeals to you.

Toronto’s real estate market for downsizing seniors is competitive, and selling at the right time ensures you get the best value. An SRES® real estate agent can help you determine when and where to move.

Managing the Emotional Side of Moving

Saying goodbye to a home filled with decades of memories can be tough. The key to a stress-free downsizing process is early planning and support. Many seniors find working with a Toronto-based downsizing specialist helpful, as they can assist with:

  • Decluttering before selling a home
  • Finding the right retirement community or condo
  • Managing moving logistics

A well-planned senior move in Toronto allows you to embrace your next chapter with confidence.
