Finding a Home Into Which You Can Downsize Can Be Difficult In Harrisonburg
By Scott Rogers • September 1, 2021
There are plenty of large-ish detached homes (2500 - 4000 SF) in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County that are occupied by a parent or parents who have raised their families in those homes but now find themselves with a family sized home without any kids living at home any longer. As you might expect, many of these homeowners would like to downsize. They don't need 3000 or 3500 SF just for themselves and the few times a year when the kids (and possibly kids' families) are back home to visit. But, sometimes downsizing is easier said than done... This homeowner would likely prefer to move into a home that is perhaps 1400 to 2200 SF, depending on how much they want to downsize, and they would likely prefer a home that won't require a lot of maintenance over the coming five to ten years and a home that has everything they need on one floor. There are only so many homes in this area that match this description, and they don't hit the market all that often -- and when they do, they usually sell quickly.
