How does downsizing work when I have decades of equity in my Mount Pleasant home?

Downsizing with decades of equity in a Mount Pleasant home starts with an honest valuation of what that equity actually is today, then comparing it against what a smaller home or condo would cost to buy and maintain, since a longer hold usually means a bigger gap between the two. That equity can fund the next home outright or leave a meaningful amount left over, depending on the numbers. Brian Beatty runs that comparison against real Mount Pleasant sales so the decision is based on your actual numbers, not an assumption.
