In the season 9 episode 4 of Property Brothers: Buying & Selling, titled "Downsizing With Daughters," the dynamic duo of Jonathan and Drew Scott take on a major downsizing challenge, helping a family of four to transition from their oversized home to a smaller space that better fits their lifestyle. The couple, Marilyn and George, are looking to sell their large, outdated home so that they can move into a more manageable space, but they're struggling to make a sale in a tough real estate market. In order to help them achieve their dream, the Property Brothers step in to renovate the current home and stage it to perfection, while also finding them the perfect new home to downsize into.

As they begin working on the current home, Jonathan and Drew quickly realize that there are some major issues that need to be addressed. The house is outdated and cramped, with a confusing layout that doesn't flow well and space that is not being used to its full potential. Jonathan takes on the task of knocking down some walls to create an open floor plan that will work better for the family, while also updating the kitchen and revamping the outdated living room. Meanwhile, Drew sets to work finding the perfect new home for the family, which proves to be a tricky task in a competitive real estate market.

One of the biggest challenges the Property Brothers face in this episode is helping the family to prioritize their needs when it comes to downsizing. Marilyn and George are hesitant to give up some of the amenities and space they've become accustomed to in their current home, but they know that downsizing is the right move for them financially and logistically. Jonathan and Drew work closely with them to identify their must-haves in a new home, while also encouraging them to embrace the benefits of smaller living, such as lower maintenance costs and a more manageable space.

As the renovation work on the current home is completed, Jonathan and Drew turn their attention to staging it to perfection. With a carefully curated mix of modern and traditional elements, they transform the space into a bright, airy haven that is sure to appeal to potential buyers. While this is happening, Drew continues to scout out potential new homes for the family, showing them a range of properties that fit their needs and budget.

By the end of the episode, Marilyn and George have successfully sold their current home and found the perfect new space to downsize into. With its modern amenities and manageable size, the new home allows them to enjoy all the advantages of downsizing while staying comfortable and happy. Thanks to the expert guidance of Jonathan and Drew, they were able to make the transition to smaller living with ease and confidence.
