What is Trading Down?

Trading down is the process of selling a more expensive or larger property and purchasing a less expensive or smaller property. This may be done for a variety of reasons, such as downsizing, a change in lifestyle, or financial constraints. Trading down allows the homeowner to reduce their housing costs, live in a more affordable home, or invest in other assets.
