In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions dive into one of the biggest lifestyle and financial questions facing retirees — when and how to downsize.

They explore the emotional and financial sides of moving to a smaller home, freeing up cash flow, and simplifying life in retirement. Jim and Casey walk through key considerations such as market timing, tax implications, and the impact of housing costs on your long-term plan. They also share real client stories of those who downsized successfully (and those who wish they’d done it sooner), along with practical guidance on how to decide whether now’s the right time to make the move.

Whether you’re thinking about selling your family home, relocating to a lower-cost area, or exploring retirement communities, this episode will help you make an informed decision that supports both your heart and your balance sheet.
