PART ONE
The Down Sizer
One of the most common demographics of buyers on the market for a new property are the down sizer. The down sizer is often the retired married couple who have worked hard all their lives, now in their early sixties.Their children have left the family home and are now starting families of their own.Over their lifetimethe baby boomers have accumulated many cherished quality possessions which hold great sentimental value to them, and have a profound bond to their family home which they have now outgrown.
The top attributes retired couples who down size search for when purchasing a new property are:
- A well-appointed but low maintenance house and garden.
- A space where they can still easily entertain family when they visit.
When styling a property aimed at the down sizer buyer, the home must be furnished elegantly with an air of sophistication. The space should be filled withbeautiful and luxurious furnishings in recognition of their life, providing a home that they can see as a celebration and the beginning to a new phase in their lives. The buyers must resonate with the surroundingsand feel comfortable to leave their cherished family home and move into a new space they love and can envision the next exciting chapter of their life.
