In real estate, we often talk about market timing. But for Baby Boomers and seniors, Life Timing is far more critical when considering a downsize. I call this finding the Goldilocks Window—the time when everything is “just right.”

 

The Problem with “Too Early” or “Too Late”

 

Too Early: You still have heavy family obligations, or you’re simply not ready to leave the big space, even if the kids are gone.

 

Too Late: Health issues have forced a crisis move, or years of deferred maintenance and high property taxes have eaten away at your equity and savings.

 

Finding the Goldilocks Spot

 

The Goldilocks Window is when you are still active, healthy, and energetic enough to handle the physical and emotional stress of a move and enjoy the new lifestyle. It’s moving because you want to (to travel, to play pickleball, to be near grandkids), not because you have to.

 

Moving during this optimal window allows you to declutter without pressure, prepare the home properly for sale, and maximize your equity, ensuring your next home truly meets your needs for the next two decades.
