New Home Options for Downsizers and Empty Nesters

Stroud Homes Auckland North has a variety of options in the smaller home category. Whether it’s a two or three bedroom design that can fit on smaller blocks, or possibly a shared living arrangement like granny flats, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Advantages of smaller home designs

Downsizers or empty-nesters (parents whose children have grown up and left home) usually want to live in a smaller home in order to free up some time, and possibly some cash too. They often want a three-bedroom, single-storey home that’s low maintenance and one that you can lock up and leave. But they also want high-quality.

Having a smaller home and block usually requires less time to clean and maintain, as well as often being more conveniently located close to shops and other conveniences.

Downsizers can gain a financial advantage when transferring from a larger property to a smaller property

In the case of older, retired couples, this financial advantage can sometimes be key in underpinning their financial security throughout their golden years.
