The one-story home, whether it is a detached home or a town home, continues to be the most popular floorplan for those looking to downsize. It is physically easier to get around, plus one-story floorplans feel bigger with everything on the main level. Luxury amenities that may not have existed in the family home are on the top of the list for this next home. Contemporary kitchens with lots of stainless steel, spa-like bathrooms, and elegant hardwood flooring. Downsizers feel they deserve a bit of luxury after putting off renovation projects in the family home. Because of the upscale amenities, the luxurious smaller home is not always less expensive than the larger family home. We are in better health, working longer, and enjoying a higher lifestyle than ever before. We are willing to spend a little more to get what we’ve always wanted in the last home we may purchase.
