And it\u2019s something many people are open to: About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/pri\/topics\/livable-communities\/housing\/2024-home-community-preferences\/\">two-thirds of U.S. adults<\/a> would consider downsizing, according to a recent AARP survey.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/when-to-downsize-your-home\/\">downsizing<\/a> involves more than clearing out closets. From deciding what to keep to selling your current home and coordinating the move, this downsizing checklist walks you through the process from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Get Expert Advice About Downsizing Your Home<\/h3>\n                        <p>Take the worry out of the downsizing process. It takes just two minutes to match clients with the best real estate agents, who will contact you and guide you through the process from start to finish. To connect with a top agent in your market, simply tell us a little bit about your property and how soon you\u2019re looking to sell.<\/p>\n        \n                <div class=\"widget-element--buttons\">\n            <a data-type=\"In Content CTA\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/find-agent\/quiz\/seller?#\/qaas=0\/\" class=\"cta-click-track widget-element--button\">Find Agent<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"section--1\" data-toc-header=\"1.

You may want to lower your monthly expenses, spend less time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/home-maintenance-checklist\/\">home maintenance<\/a>, move closer to family, or simply live in a home that better fits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>For many people, reducing housing costs is a top goal. Among adults 50 and older who expect to move, AARP found that 60% cite lower housing and maintenance costs as a reason, while 55% cite high property taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start your downsizing plan with these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Identify your main reason for downsizing.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Decide what you need from your next home, considering location, accessibility, upkeep, and lifestyle.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Set a target move date and work backward to plan sorting, donating or selling, packing, and hiring movers.<\/p>\n<p>If you have decades&#8217; worth of belongings to sort, consider starting months in advance. If time is limited, prioritize the tasks that have to happen before moving day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--2\" data-toc-header=\"2.

Determine how much space you\u2019ll need<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer for how much smaller your next home should be. Think about the space you actually use, the belongings you want to keep, and how you want to live day to day. The goal is to find a home that\u2019s easier to manage while still giving you enough room to be comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Size isn\u2019t the only consideration. Think about whether the layout, storage, stairs, outdoor areas, maintenance needs, and location will work for you now and in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>If you already know where you\u2019re moving, use the floor plan or room measurements to see what will fit. If you\u2019re still searching, measuring the furniture you want to bring can help you determine how much space you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use these steps to plan for your new space:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Determine your target home size.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Measure furniture you hope to keep.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Compare available storage space.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Plan where major furniture pieces will go.<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" \/> Consider whether rooms or furniture will need to serve multiple purposes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--3\" data-toc-header=\"3.
