Trapped Equity Downsizer

Typical Window: 12-18 Months

A Trapped Equity Downsizer is a seller profile for a long-term homeowner with significant equity who is motivated to move for lifestyle reasons (e.g., avoiding stairs, reducing maintenance) but feels financially disincentivized from selling by a low mortgage rate. The motivation to sell occurs when the physical or lifestyle need outweighs the financial benefit of the low payment.
