If you’re a homeowner in Nova Scotia and approaching or already in retirement, you may be sitting on significant home equity without realizing its full potential.

In this video, I explain how downsizing can:

• Unlock home equity
• Eliminate or reduce your mortgage
• Lower property taxes
• Reduce heating and insurance costs
• Decrease maintenance expenses
• Create income-producing investment opportunities
• Provide an emergency fund buffer
• Simplify estate planning

Downsizing isn’t about losing space — it’s about gaining financial flexibility and lifestyle freedom.
