Downsizing in Georgia

Downsizing is more than moving to a smaller home

Downsizing often comes with a mix of emotions and logistics: sorting decades of belongings, coordinating family schedules, choosing a new location, and figuring out how to time the sale and the move without creating unnecessary stress.

This guide gives you a Georgia-focused plan to simplify decisions, protect your timeline, and make sure your next chapter feels intentional—not rushed.

Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Choose the right downsizing path: condo, townhome, active adult community, or “right-size” home.
• Build a timeline that works with your energy, family needs, and market conditions.
• Sort, stage, and simplify without getting stuck (including practical decision rules).
• Plan the sale and move so you avoid chaotic overlap or expensive gaps.
• Protect your proceeds by avoiding common pricing and preparation mistakes.
