GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (ABC 4)- If you’re in a stage of life where you’re looking to downsize, you may find yourself experiencing a few challenges.
Whether it’s creating a plan, determining whether or not to age in place or move, or feeling attached to items and your home, the downsizing process can feel overwhelming.
To help simplify the process, Lisa Novosad with Novosad Realty Partners joins Jennifer Feuerstein on “Real Possibilities with AARP Michigan” to share tips.
Challenges older adults experience when downsizing:
- Determining whether or not to downsize.
