46. When to Downsize: Timing the Real Estate Market vs Timing Your Life

Is the housing market making you second-guess your downsizing plans? You're not alone. Many homeowners—especially in their 50s, 60s, and beyond—are stuck waiting for the “perfect time” to move, only to feel more stuck as life keeps changing around them.

In this episode, we break down the truth about market timing vs. life timing when it comes to downsizing. You’ll learn why waiting for better interest rates or higher prices might not serve you in the long run—and how to tell if your current life stage is actually giving you the green light to move forward.

We share:

• What “timing the market” really means—and why it rarely works
• Real-life examples of families who waited too long (and those who moved at just the right moment)
• How to evaluate your own life readiness beyond just the headlines
• A simple mindset shift that can give you clarity, momentum, and peace of mind

📍Whether you’re actively planning to downsize, exploring your options, or just feeling overwhelmed by the what-ifs, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and practical next steps.
