Downsizing with Dignity 🏡 Modular Homes & Real Stories in Waterford.
In this latest Waterford Property Watch, Regina Mangan and Nick Borgman explore the deeply personal and often emotional journey of downsizing - or as it's increasingly known, rightsizing.
They discuss the growing interest in modular homes as a potential downsizing solution, following the government’s proposal to simplify planning permission for these adaptable living spaces.
This podcast offers heartfelt stories and downsizing solutions from Waterford and beyond - from helping a blind couple move closer to family, to navigating the stress of competitive markets and finding creative solutions like caretaker arrangements. Whether it's moving from a large family home to a more manageable bungalow or finding peace of mind in a modular setup, this episode is about making the next chapter of life easier, not smaller.
📍 What you’ll learn:
The real meaning of downsizing vs. rightsizing
Modular homes as a planning and lifestyle solution
🏠 How family needs, health, and financial planning influence transitions
Why personal connections and independent agents make all the difference
Stories that show there’s no one-size-fits-all approach
