Thinking about downsizing? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not late.
Anacortes has quietly become one of the best places in Washington for those looking to simplify life without giving up beauty, community, or comfort.
Whether you love Anacortes but need a home that’s easier to manage, or you're feeling done with the gray skies and dreaming of somewhere sunnier, you still have options. There are wonderful neighborhoods here where you can downsize and still enjoy everything that makes this town so fabulous. And if you’re ready for a bigger move out-of-state, I can help guide that transition with clarity and zero pressure.
I’m Taby Perron, a local real estate broker in Anacortes who works closely with sellers 55 and up. If you're starting to think about your next chapter, here’s why Anacortes might be the perfect place to land.
1. One-Level Homes That Actually Make Sense
No more stairs? Yes, please. Anacortes has a great selection of well-built ramblers and single-level townhomes, especially in neighborhoods like Skyline, Parkside, and San Juan Passage. Many offer views, manageable yards, and updated layouts that are ideal for comfort and convenience.
2. A Lifestyle You’ll Actually Love
From waterfront walks to community events, Anacortes offers that rare combination of peace and connection. Whether you're into kayaking, gardening, hiking, volunteering, or just grabbing a good cup of coffee, this town has a way of making people feel at home.
3. You Can Still Get Solid Value
Many of my clients are surprised at what their current home is worth and how far that equity can go toward their next one. Downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading. With the right plan in place, it can mean less upkeep, more freedom, and a better fit.
4. It’s Not Just About the Move, It’s About the Transition
Letting go of a longtime home can be emotional. I’ve helped many clients navigate this phase with care, patience, and clarity. My goal is to guide you through the entire process from preparing your home to sell to helping you find the perfect next place, all without pressure.
Let's Talk
Whether you’re six months out or just beginning to explore your options, I’d be happy to chat. I can offer a no-pressure home value consultation and talk through what the path might look like for you. Reach out here if you'd like to start the conversation.
