Heading into (or already in) retirement, your home could be the key to more freedom, not just less space. This guide shows Boomers how to right‑size strategically: reframe “downsizing” as trading unused rooms and rising upkeep for flexibility and cash flow; calculate true net proceeds and tax considerations; leverage today’s demand from Millennial/Gen Z buyers (the “Boomer Buyer Bonus”); and make smart, high‑ROI tune‑ups and staging choices that attract top offers without over‑renovating.

You’ll also learn when to sell for maximum gain, how to reinvest for income and lifestyle (mortgage‑free purchases, suite/rental options, adult‑lifestyle communities), and why a pro who specializes in Boomer transitions matters, coordinating timing, trusted services, and estate/tax awareness. Use the included step‑by‑step checklists to move from plan to action with confidence and create a retirement filled with travel, time with family, and peace of mind.
