Downsizing equity planner

The question every downsizer actually asks: how much will I have left, and will my monthly payment go down? Here's the math, end to end.

The home you're selling

The home you're buying

Assumes your net sale proceeds go toward the next purchase first, with any remainder staying in your pocket. State REET is calculated on the sale using standard Washington brackets.

    How it works

    Two moves, one plan — and one number that matters.

    Downsizing is really two transactions stacked on top of each other, which is why it's so easy to guess wrong. This planner runs both: what your current home nets after excise tax, commission, prep, and payoff — then what's left after you buy the next one.

    The second number people underestimate is the monthly change. A smaller home doesn't automatically mean a smaller payment if you're taking on a new loan at today's rates. Enter your current all-in housing cost above and you'll see the honest comparison.

    If the timing worries you — and it worries almost everyone — there are ways to buy before you sell, or to negotiate a rent-back so you're never between homes. That's a strategy conversation, and it's free.
