The kids have moved out, the extra bedrooms have become storage and the garden has gotten a bit much to keep up with, sound familiar?
It is a common story. In fact, there are roughly 13 million empty bedrooms sitting in Australian homes right now. That is 3.2 million homes with one spare, 3 million with two, and 1.2 million with three or more.
If you are an empty nester sitting on all that unused space, spring could be the time to consider downsizing. Listings are strong, buyers are active, and a smaller, simpler home might free up more capital than you expect, while helping address the demand for family housing elsewhere.
