Downsizing A Smart Strategy for Retirement Planning

For individuals aged 55 and over, downsizing your home can be a transformative financial move as you prepare for retirement. Whether you’re planning to sell or have already sold your home to move into a smaller property, we can help you make the most of the proceeds to enhance your retirement lifestyle.

Maximising the Benefits of Downsizing

One key financial strategy available to eligible Australians is the downsizer contribution, which allows you to contribute up to $300,000 (or $600,000 for couples) from the sale of your home directly into your superannuation fund. This initiative can significantly boost your retirement savings and create a more secure, tax-effective financial future.
