Looking for low maintenance? Large living space? Want to live close to the action? But have had enough of your large home - Then you are trying to rightsize!

Up-sizing and downsizing are two common words we tend to hear in the real estate world. Young families tend to up-size needing more space in their lives for extra children. And older families tend to downsize, the kids have left the nest and they just don’t need a large house to maintain.

So what is Rightsizing?

With an ageing population we are seeing increased demand for homes that can still cater for their lifestyle but just on a smaller scale. According to Knight Frank Residential Research Report 2020 - rightsizing is taking place as the lifestyle trend towards luxury apartment living dominates the Australian residential landscape.

Instead of looking for 2 bedrooms apartments, we are finding active retired buyers are wanting a smaller property but with house-like proportions. These right-sizers still want 3 bedrooms and with parking becoming nearly impossible in the East they are also demanding 2 car-spaces.

At BuyEast we can guide you on Rightsizing. Often you need to look beyond a specific brief to find your next home. We have helped guide past clients into the right size home for their situation. Even if the kids have left the nest, you need to consider noise factors, babysitting the grand-kids, having your own private space, and potentially even consideration for later down the track when you may need a lift or amenities within the building.

Times have changed and your Rightsize home may be a brand new semi or house that you may have not have even considered. Let our team show you the multiple opportunities in the market to fit your needs and requirements.
