Yes I knew exactly why even before she told me. Our house is very large, a bear to maintain and to be honest about 1/3 more space than we as a family need. For us it became a burden. It's a wonderful house but there was always something more to do.
When we were in England we had a place about 1/3 the size of our house. It was a bit small but we loved it because it was easy to maintain, in a great neighborhood, allowed each of us space but wasn't huge, was very comfortable and not "showy".
The place she found is very much like this with a bit more space and a price that would be easier on us both. She even said sure it'd take two incomes to afford but not two as big as our current house.
She made a lot of comments too about the floorplan and how it would work for us. Even said, the spare room could be my media home theater. Yes "MY" meaning me.
