Facing a costly mortgage renewal, this family decided to downsize and instead saved thousands
On July 3, Jennifer Deane and her husband close the sale on their 2,700-square-foot family home in North Vancouver.
A few days later, they take possession of an almost-new 1,920-square-foot townhome. This is a story of downsizing, but not the traditional way. Ms. Deane is 47, her husband is 48 and the couple has daughters aged 14 and 18 living with them right now.
