PODS® Northeast Wisconsin Helps Households Looking to Downsize Belongings as Housing Market Slows

We are starting to see more homeowners considering trimming down the clutter instead of a move. End Quote

Appleton, WI (1888PressRelease) July 27, 2023 - The changing housing market is driving many residents to get creative and find ways to downsize belongings and stay in the home they love. According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, half of the country is experiencing declines in housing prices (Yahoo.com). Home prices have been on the rise for years and while the market has cooled down, Greg McBride, CFA, chief financial analyst for Bankrate, predicts that a plateauing of prices is more likely than a steep fall (Yahoo.com).

While some families look to make the jump to expansive suburban homes, there is a savvy group of homeowners making a different choice: downsizing to what they need to reimagine their current home's function.

“We are starting to see more homeowners considering trimming down the clutter instead of a move. The easiest way to start the downsizing process is to use a portable PODS container," said Andrew Mielke, Franchise Owner serving PODS® Northeast Wisconsin. "PODS can stay on your property or are conveniently transported to one of our secure, climate-controlled storage facilities."

PODS Northeast Wisconsin offers tips for downsizing:

Have a plan: Set a realistic goal of downsizing clutter from each room.

Involve your family: Plan a group decluttering and packing party.

Have a yard sale: AARP suggests you ask yourself, "When is the last time I used this?"

Donate: Everything that doesn't sell can be donated to a good cause.
