There is something about this time of year that gets empty nesters thinking. The kids are settled back into their routines, the house feels a little quieter than usual, and suddenly that extra square footage does not feel like a blessing anymore, it feels like a project.
Clients who have been thinking about downsizing all year finally pick up the phone in September and October and it makes perfect sense. The holidays are coming, the new year is around the corner, and there is something about the change of season that makes people want a fresh start.
This is actually one of the best times of year to have that conversation.
