[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP again. Yes, it's crazy. And it's keeping out young families who could really benefit from our spacious homes. Of course, with complaints about school crowding, maybe this is a blessing. But I feel for millennials right now.[/quote]

Don't feel badly. Eventually people die or go to assisted care. Several houses have come up in our neighborhood for these reasons. I think a lot of older folks make the calculation that you made and realize that their next move will be one that is out of necessity (because the financials just don't work). "Downsizing was not a thing in my grandparents' day. I think it only came up as a "thing" in the last 25 years or so. My grandmother's house did not go on the market until after she died. Nobody judged her for that. But people do judge the boomers for doing the same thing. In fact I know someone who would like to downsize, but just plain can't find a smaller home in their area (because there aren't many that were built). She has given up. [/quote]
