Downsizing is all the rage right now. There are tiny house movements on countless shows, channels, documentaries, and viral videos. Of course, a tiny house isn’t for everyone—but downsizing is worth considering for your next move. Even though having an enormous, spacious home may seem like a dreamy idea—what with the extra-large sofa you could fit or the additional storage space for your Christmas décor to live in—a large new home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Check out these reasons to downsize for your next move:
You save money
A smaller house payment brings you more financial freedom. Ever heard the term “house poor?” This means that a homeowner lives in a property that drastically affects their disposable income for the worse. The mortgage, rent, and cost of repairs (when those come due) are devastating enough that funds feel “tight” on a regular basis. Imagine a monthly bill 40-50% less than what you currently pay—doesn’t that sound dreamy?
You save time
The bigger the house the bigger the chores. As my mother always said, “I never wanted a bigger house—I wouldn’t want to clean it!” True words. What would you do with the time you saved in less square footage to sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, etc.?

Less clutter, less house, less stress
A happy home is one where you feel most calm. Typically, clutter or “light” hoarding lends itself to a more chaotic vibe. In fact, there are medical articles written by reputable physicians and holistic experts who agree: less clutter actually boosts health and vitality. When our home lives are (or appear to be) disorganized and full of unnecessary clutter, our physical and mental well-being can be negatively affected. In many cases, people with disorderliness surrounding them feel less energetic and less efficient, which combine to make daily life feel burdensome. Fatigue, stress, and anxiety are all common physiological responses to an overwhelming home.
Don’t take our word for it; evaluate your own home and your next move. Do you want less stress and less space to keep up with? Whatever you choose for your next home—big or small—call ABS Movers & Storage; our team will get your belongings there safely!
