Wellesley: Navigating the 'Empty Nester' Move

Wellesley: Navigating the 'Empty Nester' Move

It's a classic story in Wellesley: the kids are off to college, and that 5-bedroom Colonial feels a lot bigger than it used to. 2025 is the year of the 'Sophisticated Downsize.'

The 2025 Downsizing Strategy

• The Luxury Condo Pivot: Many are trading the yard for high-end condos in Newton Centre or Chestnut Hill.
• Cashing in on Equity: With Wellesley prices at record highs, selling now often provides a massive retirement nest egg.
• Tax Planning: Thanks to the July 2025 tax reform, the state estate tax threshold is now $2M, making it easier to pass wealth to the next generation.
