Hello Friends,
Happy May Day!
Do you remember making May baskets for friends when you were young? May always feels like a season of fresh beginnings—when we start planning our gardens, preparing our outdoor spaces, and looking ahead to joyful gatherings with family and friends.
It’s also a time when many of us reflect on our lifestyle and consider if a simpler, more effortless way of living might be calling. One question that often arises: Is it time to “right-size” our home?
Right-sizing simply means aligning your home with the life you want to enjoy now.
It could mean purchasing your first home after apartment living. It could mean moving from a smaller house to a larger home to raise a family. Or it could mean deciding that your long-time family home no longer fits your lifestyle—and choosing a space that better supports freedom, ease, and enjoyment.
Here are a few signs it may be the perfect time to explore a new chapter:
- You want to be closer to restaurants, tennis/pickleball courts, bike trails, and entertainment.
- You realize you’re only using a portion of your current home.
- You would prefer living on a single level.
- You find joy in shorter drives and more walkable surroundings.
- You’re eager to travel more freely.
- You seek a life less burdened by upkeep—and rich in experience.
Right-sizing is not just about moving—it’s about creating a home that reflects and supports the life you want to live today. The best time to plan a move is before it becomes a necessity—when you have the freedom to make decisions thoughtfully and intentionally, and when the process can be joyful rather than rushed.
If you’re considering a transition, I would love to help guide you through the process, alleviate the stress, and make the journey as seamless and elegant as possible.
