It can be a part of future proofing your living circumstances when you retire. You no longer need all the additional space of the home you raised a family in, and moving to a smaller home with all the amenities on the ground floor will mean you can keep using your home for longer.
It could be to help you save to afford your first home. When you get serious about saving for a deposit one way you can economise is to move into a smaller home, even a room in a shared house, and save the money you were previously spending on rent.
It could simply depend on the housing available where you’re moving. If you’re moving into a city from the suburbs to pursue your career, you’ll find that your budget will stretch to a smaller living space.
