Bringing Up Downsizing With Your Parents in Calgary? Start Here.

You’ve noticed the stairs before they have.

Bringing up downsizing with your parents in Calgary can feel like walking into a minefield. Here’s the short version. Ask a question. Don’t hand them a plan.

Start with curiosity, not a solution. Pick a quiet moment, and let them talk first. If they say no, that’s normal. Drop it and bring it up again in a few months.

This isn’t your decision to make for them. Your job is to open the door, not walk through it for them.

And if your parents aren’t ready this year, that’s fine too. This is a conversation you can have more than once.

Downsizing From a Two-Storey in Calgary? Start Here

If the stairs feel a little longer than they used to, this one’s for you.

I wrote a new post on my downsizing blog about where to start when you’re leaving a two-storey in Calgary.

The short version?

Start with the life, not the house.

Figure out where you want to wake up. Close to the grandkids. Near your favourite walk. All on one floor.

The boxes can wait. So can the listing.

The full post covers what to do with 30 years of stuff, whether you have to leave your neighbourhood, and when it makes sense to start.

And if you read it and decide to stay put for now? That’s a good answer too.
