Agent won't show me houses without preapproval?

I'm not sure if I even want to move to the suburbs from the city. I just want to get a feel for the houses and see if i could live there. The agent I talked to said he wouldn't show me any houses without preapproval. i get he doesn't want to waste his time if i can't afford the house. but i also don't want to waste my time on preapproval if i might not even move. Do I have to have preapproval to see a house?

How do I know if it's the right time to downsize and sell our family home?

Our youngest child just graduated from college and moved out of state, leaving my spouse and me in a four-bedroom house. The maintenance and yard work are starting to feel a bit overwhelming, but we are deeply attached to the neighborhood. We are trying to figure out the right timeline for selling and finding a smaller condo nearby. Should we sell while the house is still in great shape, or wait a few more years until we actually retire?
