Downsizing with Dignity 🏡 Modular Homes & Real Stories in Waterford.
In this latest Waterford Property Watch, Regina Mangan and Nick Borgman explore the deeply personal and often emotional journey of downsizing - or as it's increasingly known, rightsizing.
They discuss the growing interest in modular homes as a potential downsizing solution, following the government’s proposal to simplify planning permission for these adaptable living spaces.
This podcast offers heartfelt stories and downsizing solutions from Waterford and beyond - from helping a blind couple move closer to family, to navigating the stress of competitive markets and finding creative solutions like caretaker arrangements. Whether it's moving from a large family home to a more manageable bungalow or finding peace of mind in a modular setup, this episode is about making the next chapter of life easier, not smaller.
📍 What you’ll learn:
The real meaning of downsizing vs. rightsizing
Modular homes as a planning and lifestyle solution
🏠 How family needs, health, and financial planning influence transitions
Why personal connections and independent agents make all the difference
Stories that show there’s no one-size-fits-all approach
Whether you're thinking about downsizing in Waterford, exploring rightsizing options, or just want to understand the role of modular homes in Ireland’s housing future, this episode is essential listening.
