Trying to buy your next home while selling your current one—and downsizing at the same time? It’s one of the most complex moves you can make… and it’s also one of the most common for people in midlife and retirement.

In this episode of The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we’re sharing how to navigate the emotional and logistical puzzle of selling, buying, and downsizing without losing sleep. Whether you're moving to a condo, relocating closer to family, or transitioning into senior living, this episode offers a calm, clear, and supportive guide to doing it right.

We’ll walk you through:

  • 3 common move strategies—and how to choose the best one for your situation
  • What to do first when planning a downsize-and-move
  • How to avoid the dreaded gap between selling and finding your next place
  • Financing options (including bridge loans and reverse purchase mortgages)
  • Emotional support for leaving the family home or feeling stuck
  • How to reduce stress with timelines, trial stays, and real-world planning

This episode is designed for anyone making a move later in life, helping aging parents move, or just trying to simplify without the chaos.
