For Amanda and Allen, 2023 marked the beginning of a new chapter as they embarked on the journey of downsizing in Perth. Their story is one of trust, excitement, and finding the perfect fit with Easystart Homes.
Taking the first step toward downsizing in Perth
Amanda and Allen had spent years raising their family of five in a spacious home complete with a pool and a sprawling backyard. But with their children grown and moved out, the couple knew it was time for a change. “We didn’t need all that space anymore,” Amanda shared. “We wanted something smaller, something that suited our new lifestyle.”
The decision to downsize wasn’t made lightly, but a recommendation from a close friend gave them the confidence to take the first step. “A friend of mine was building with Summit Homes, and she had such a great experience that she recommended them to us,” Amanda said. “She even gave us the name of someone to contact. We knew Summit had a solid reputation, so we felt comfortable exploring their designs.”
Finding the perfect fit for downsizing in Perth
For Amanda and Allen, finding the right home design was key. They wanted something modern, functional, and tailored to their needs as a couple. After exploring several options, they fell in love with the Aspen home design. “The first time we saw the Aspen, we knew it was the one,” Amanda recalled. “It just felt right—like it was made for us.”
The couple looked at three different blocks in Perth before finding the perfect match for their new home. “We tried to visualise the design on each block, but it wasn’t quite right until we found this one,” Allen explained. “When we saw the Aspen on this block, it was perfect. It felt like it was meant to be.”
Watching their home come to life
One of the most exciting parts of the journey for Amanda and Allen was being able to watch their home take shape. “We live close by, so we were able to drop in every weekend or every other weekend to see the progress,” Amanda said. “It was amazing to see the build unfold step by step. It made the whole process feel real and tangible.”
For Allen, the experience was equally rewarding. “There’s something special about seeing your home being built from the ground up. It’s not just a house—it’s your future, your new beginning.”
A home that feels just right
Now settled into their new home, Amanda and Allen couldn’t be happier. “The house is perfect for us,” Amanda said. “It’s not too big, not too small—it’s just the right size for the two of us and our pets. We don’t need all the extra space anymore, and this home fits our lifestyle perfectly.”
For Allen, the feeling of picking up the keys was a moment of triumph. “It was a ‘Yes, we’ve done it’ kind of moment,” he said. “It wasn’t just relief—it was the start of a new chapter. We could finally move forward and enjoy this next phase of our lives.”

Allen echoed her sentiments, adding, “Do your research, ask for recommendations, and don’t rush the decision. Building a home is a big step, but when you find the right builder and the right design, it’s worth it.”
A new beginning
