A later-life move gets easier when you tie the decision to pace, price, and practicality.
If you are asking whether a move now would make life easier or simply create more work, I would start with how manageable the selling side looks. In San Dimas, CA, the recent pace points to a market where homes that closed over the previous month took a typical 22 days to sell.
That recent selling pace matters because timing affects everything else. In San Dimas, CA, a typical home sold in 22 days over the previous month, offers landed around 101% of asking, and active listings held a typical asking price of $950,000. My read is that the market still gives well-prepared homeowners a workable opening to make a change. For anyone thinking about a home that is easier to manage, I would not treat the move as only a financial decision. It is also a lifestyle and workload decision, but the practical side still comes first. In San Dimas, CA, the faster pace means I would want the next-step plan, moving support, and sale prep handled before the listing goes live. Decide what you need the next home to solve. Remove unnecessary tasks from the current home before showings begin. Build the move around simplicity, not square footage alone. That usually leads to a better decision and a less stressful transition.
