Trade a townhouse for a house
The shared wall traded for a fence of your own: townhouse owners upsizing to detached homes, matched with owners simplifying the other way.
Townhouse owners who want a yard, a detached garage, or more square footage are trading directly with single-family homeowners who prefer the ease of townhouse living. Direct swaps let both parties move without separately listing and buying on the open market.
Who’s detaching (and attaching)

Townhouse owners tired of shared walls and HOA restrictions wanting full control over a single-family property
House owners ready to downsize who want the maintenance simplicity of a townhome and want to trade rather than sell
Investors rotating between property types by trading a townhouse for a single-family in a different neighborhood
