Downsizing? Here's What You Need To Do

Moving into a smaller space often means making the decision to live with (a lot) less. Here's how to ease the transition from big to small before moving day. As you start to edit your belongings in anticipation of your move, you’ll have to sort the treasures and decide what to do with everything in between. Here are eight factors you need to consider when you’re downsizing: 1. Consider your lifestyle Whether downsizing is a dream or a necessity, consider your lifestyle before moving into a smaller space. Make sure that your new space, while smaller, still has enough room to accommodate things that are important to you. Is there room for your exercise bike? Does it have a backyard for you to indulge your love of gardening? If not, are you okay with that?

This can become a stressful situation, especially when - due to room restrictions or wi-fi signal limitations - more than one adult or student is required to use the same spot to engage in frequent video conferencing. Optimizing the space is critical. As much as they need access to smart technology, users also need a workspace with a clean desktop or table. Saving files in digital form as much as possible will help keep the work area clear, and make subsequent meetings less stressful.  For a backdrop, a simple blank wall is fine.

A record 121,712 sales were reported through TRREB’s MLS® System in 2021 – up 7.7 per cent from the previous 2016 high of 113,040 and up 28 per cent compared to 2020.

The result was extremely tight market conditions and an all-time high average selling price of $1,095,475 – an increase of 17.8 per cent compared to the previous 2020 record of $929,636. “Despite continuing waves of COVID-19, demand for ownership housing sustained a record pace in 2021. Growth in many sectors of the economy supported job creation, especially in positions supporting above-average earnings. Added to this was the fact that borrowing costs remained extremely low. These factors supported not only a continuation in demand for ground oriented homes, but also a resurgence in the condo segment as well,” said TRREB President Kevin Crigger. One sales trend that stood out in
