      Downsizer stories

      For homeowners and retirees looking for ways to better their income and lifestyles, downsizing is an integral part of meeting their specific needs

      Geraldine & Paul
      “We are playing it forward. This is about what makes us happy, what sort of life we want to lead and where we want to live.”
      Martin North - Digital Finance Analytics
      “These generations understand the amount of equity they are sitting on in their home. They feel prices have reached a sweet spot – that prices are peaking”
      Louise & Andrew
      “There is no mad rush. We’ve already started moving things into storage. It would have been very difficult to have found an equivalent to the house we are building in the current market because prices have gone up by so much”

      Our Mission

      Giving today’s buyers a new way to downsize – with not a cent to pay until settlement.

      Funding a traditional deposit necessitates one of two things: finding cash, or selling up and moving into an interim rental sooner. Both involve missing out on the capital growth that comes with home ownership for years, pending settlement. Today’s downsizers deserve better. That’s why we brought a seasoned team of experts together to transform this experience for both homeowners and developers.
