Two sides of moving: downsize or ladder up
When his children and stepchildren moved out of the house, Jim Geiger and his wife decided to downsize.
The empty-nesters sold their 2,800-square-foot home that sat on 1˝ acres on the north side of Crystal Lake and opted for a smaller, cozier abode.
Watching the market spiral downward, Geiger asked himself some all-important questions: Should I stay or should I go? Do I hold onto the house in the declining market, or do I jump ship now before things get a whole lot worse?
