We purposefully embraced the idea of downsizing as a liberation of sorts.
We left a 4000 sq. ft home and now are in a CYV under 2000 sq. ft.
Hubby had a tough adjustment with the much smaller garage at first, but now has been able to configure it to his satisfaction and it works well.
Many of the models/pre loved homes here are quite roomy, so you may be able to choose something that will not compromise your space much at all.
Depends on how attached you are to stuff you have accumulated thus far.
If you are both on the same page to simplify, as we were, it can be joyful. We began to eliminate things as we were preparing our home (up North) to be placed on the market. Glad we began early and could do it in a relaxed and thoughtful way!
I wanted our move to be as joyful and stress-free as possible and it was.
I will say that there is nothing I regret getting rid of, nothing either of us wish we still had.... and it was wonderful to know that we didn't drag a whole bunch of stuff down here that we had to get rid of later.
