With projections showing nearly 24% of Canada's population will be over 65 by 2030, downsizing has become a common consideration for seniors. The podcast addresses both emotional attachments and practical logistics of this stage in life by offering strategies to sort possessions, determine what to keep, and approach real estate decisions confidently.
"To say that leaving the home where one spent almost half of their life with family is difficult would be an understatement," said a spokesperson for the program. "We aim to help seniors and their families approach this transition with clarity while honoring the memories associated with their possessions."
Dadoun, who works in the York and Durham areas of Ontario, discusses housing alternatives including condominiums, smaller homes, and retirement communities. This portion of the program highlights how smaller living spaces can reduce maintenance needs and create more manageable daily environments.
She also provided specific guidance on sorting through decades of accumulated belongings, a process many seniors find overwhelming. Listeners receive practical advice on categorizing items, involving family members appropriately, and making decisions about heirlooms and sentimental objects.
Furthermore, the episode examines the financial aspects of downsizing, including market considerations for selling larger homes and purchasing more appropriate properties. “As a realtor working exclusively with seniors, Mitzy can cite many real-world examples that those downsizing can draw insight from for their own deals,” her spokesperson said.
Known professionally as the "Sold Queen," Dadoun brings to the discussion insight drawn from many years working with seniors in Ontario’s local real estate market.
The Smart Seniors Real Estate Podcast was conceived as an extension of her services to the community and an ongoing resource tackling various issues seniors and their loved ones typically face as the former age independently.
