Whether purchasing or building a granny flat, they have a lot to offer. We consider three benefits of downsizing to a granny flat on the Sunshine Coast.
Save Costs
The first benefit of considering a granny flat on the Sunshine Coast is the cost. Downsizing to a granny flat is the more affordable option for many. A granny flat is less expensive than building or buying a new home, and the building process can also be simpler. While a granny flat is sometimes called that because it is a popular way to accommodate aging parents, it offers an intergenerational asset that has appeal as a teenage retreat, space for hobbies, or as a source of extra income. Essentially, downsizing to a granny flat can be a wise investment in the long term.
Lower Maintenance & Independent Living
From saving money to less maintenance, downsizing to a granny flat on the Sunshine Coast can offer coastal living and independence. This helps to avoid retirement homes for some, and shared accommodation for others. A smaller home means you don’t need to spend as much time maintaining the property and you can spend time doing the things you love.

For younger homeowners, it can give back time in a busy schedule that can have housework getting away from you.
