Should I downsize now?

Downsizing now makes sense if the current home's upkeep, cost, or size has become a burden and a smaller replacement would actually improve your day-to-day life, rather than waiting for a specific market condition that may never arrive. Trying to time downsizing around price swings usually costs more in delay than it saves in timing.
