Downsizing from Southern Highlands
Your low rate isn't the whole story. Your equity is. We plan the move to a smaller home around it.
Room to downsize without leaving
Downsizing from Southern Highlands has one big advantage: the community itself covers a wide range. If you're in a larger home near the top of the market, there are smaller single-family homes inside the same master plan, starting from about $380,000 as of September 2026. You could keep the golf, the setting and the easy I-15 access while cutting back on space and upkeep.

Equity first
The worry we hear most: "I don't want to give up my low interest rate." We start by asking whether the equity in your current home could pay off the smaller one. For a larger Southern Highlands home, there may be a lot of equity to work with. If it covers the whole purchase, the new rate barely matters. If it covers most of it, a big down payment keeps the payment small. Rates were around 6.75% in September 2026 and they change.
Selling first
You don't have to buy first. One of our clients sold a larger two-story home, stayed in a weekly rental for about a month, and then closed on a smaller one-story home. Your home gets our full process: a CMA against the Southern Highlands homes in your segment, help getting it ready, photos, video, a community video, targeted ads, weekly updates and every offer side by side.

Other directions
Some Southern Highlands downsizers move next door to Mountain's Edge, where some sections offer single-story homes on larger lots. Others choose an age-qualified community like Sun City Summerlin or Sun City Anthem. HOA dues in Southern Highlands start from about $70 a month, so compare dues carefully.
