Should You Downsize Before the Holidays? Tips for Streamlining Your Living Space

The air is crisp. The leaves are resplendent. The pop-up Halloween kiosks are everywhere. Holiday season is upon us. Are you excited to transform the old family home into holiday central? Or does the thought of trudging down the basement to wade through boxes of decorations and untangle miles of string lights and wires generate more fatigue and fizzle than fa la la?  Don’t feel like the Grinch.  It is not that you lack your usual holiday spirit. You’re just ready for a different kind of celebration – in an environment that celebrates you.

If ever there was the right time to consider letting go of the expensive money pit that is depleting your retirement funds, this is it. Put up that for sale sign up. ‘Tis the season for joy and laughter in the Overture senior apartment community of your choice. Ho. Ho. Ho!

Sign on the dotted line at an Overture senior apartment community now, and by the time Santa comes to town, you’ll be toasting the jolly bearded one with a whole new circle of friends.

Celebrate With Those New Friends

Are the kids far away? Are they nearby but busy with their own holiday social schedule? Either way, Overture has your back. Creating a festive mood with holiday events and parties, Overture will put the holiday in your spirit. Maybe you like more intimate entertainment. Once you’ve unpacked your boxes, why not invite a few new buddies over for cocktails and a potluck dinner. Hosting friends could not be easier in an apartment designed for efficiency and comfort.

Timing is Everything

Spending the next few months in an empty nest that used to be full of laughter and love at this time of year could be a real downer.
