You're not alone. Many homeowners who'd like something smaller stay put because of today's mortgage rates and how few smaller homes come up for sale. There are ways through both.
Then don't take a new one. Many long-time owners have enough equity to buy the smaller home with cash from the sale — and today's 7.03% rate never touches them. The calculator below shows whether that works for you.
One-level homes and condos with elevators are scarce, and the good ones go fast. I check Bright MLS every morning for new and Coming Soon listings in the areas you care about, so you hear about them the day they appear.
You may not have to. A rent-back lets you stay in your home for a while after settlement. Or you can buy first using a bridge loan or home-equity line — a lender can tell you what fits. I'll line up the timing so there's one calm move.
For homeowners
Pick your ZIP code and watch the needle. Hot means homes sell fast, close to or above asking. Curious what yours would bring?

"A home is where people feel safe and cared for. I help you find — or pass on — that feeling."
Fifteen years at an adult day care center — the last three as its manager — taught me to listen, explain clearly, and never rush a decision.
Real sales from the MLS, not automated guesses. You'll always know what a home is worth and why.
