There are several factors which seem to delay the decision to move. Unfortunately, often enough the decision to move is not until a crisis is present or imminent. Some of the factors which delay downsizing are:
1. Strong attachment to your home
2. Having built a social network within your community
3. Huge undertaking and disruption of moving
4. Cost of moving
5. Human tendency to postpone planning for the future and/or changes in health
6. Fear of unknown of new living arrangements meeting expectations
7. Availability of appropriate housing and downsizing options
8. Lack of support/ help to facilitate a move
