Before making a move to a smaller home, there’s one number many homeowners overlook: your cost basis.

According to Charles Schwab, it plays a big role in understanding potential taxes and what you’ll actually walk away with when you sell—especially if you’ve owned your home for many years.

Downsizing can be a smart financial and lifestyle decision, but knowing the full picture matters.

And as always, it’s a good idea to connect with your accountant or financial advisor to understand what this could look like for your specific situation.

✨ The more you know, the more confident your next move will be.

🏡 Yesterday I shared the first 4 stages people go through before relocating and/or downsizing.

Here are the next 4 that often lead to a move:

5️⃣ Vision Building
Imagining what life could look like somewhere new.

6️⃣ Risk Evaluation
Thinking about finances, housing, family, and logistics.

7️⃣ The Trial Phase
Visiting places, exploring communities, testing the idea.

8️⃣ The Commitment Decision
The question becomes: “How do we make this happen?”

Moving isn’t just a real estate decision.

It’s often about designing the next chapter of life.
