Downsizing from Geddes Heights
A plan for selling the home you've lived in for years and moving to one that fits your life now.
Downsizing from Geddes Heights
Downsizing from Geddes Heights often comes down to the hills. Some streets are very steep, and after years of walking and driving them, a flatter street can be part of what you're looking for.
It's two decisions at once, so we plan the sale of your home and the purchase of your next one before anything goes on the market.
Leaving Geddes Heights can mean leaving the Arb's trails and the Peony Garden at your door. If staying close to them matters, we'll look at homes on flatter streets nearby before you decide to move farther away.
