Common Questions

Downsizing FAQs

Should I sell before I buy?

It depends on finances, the next-home type, market conditions and comfort carrying two properties. We model both scenarios first.

How much work should I do before selling?

Only work that supports the strategy. Preparation should improve saleability or value more than it costs.

Can I downsize and stay in Etobicoke?

Often, yes. Etobicoke offers condos, townhomes, bungalows and smaller detached options across different pockets.
