When you purchase that first home, there can be a lot of excitement, but getting ready for a move can be very stressful.
Packing up all the rooms of your current place is a time-consuming process. People are often surprised by just how long it can take to get things organized and ready to go. Be sure to prepare everything for your move in advance. You'll find that everything goes smoother if you plan ahead and keep everything organized. Don't lose important documents in the move; keep them all in an easily accessible place. To make sure so that everything is ready to be loaded up on moving day, have your apartment or old home staged. Everything is easier and you save time during your move if you prepare well.
For each person, create a single suitcase or backpack filled with all the necessities you would need if you were going on a 3-day vacation. This includes 3 changes of clothes that you can either unpack in or go to work in, depending on your schedule, plus toiletries, prescriptions, eyeglasses, and other vital items. If anything is missing, you will at least have the necessities if you keep these items separate from the rest of the things packed and handy for when you arrive.
Similarly, have an "open me first" box for each room, clearly labeled in red instead of black ink, holding the things you want to have immediately available as soon as you arrive. For the bathroom, this might be soap, towels and toilet paper; the kitchen box might include the coffee maker and paper cups, plates and flatware; etc. Your first 24 hours in the new place will be much simpler if you do this.
One tip that home buyers can use when moving is that the less you move, the better off you're going to be. If possible, you should put off big purchases, such as appliances and furniture, until you have moved. You will pay based on weight when moving long distances; this can add up. If you can avoid those big purchases until you are set up in your new home, you'll save a lot of money and trouble as you move. And if you haven't used an item in over a year, it's a good idea to lighten the moving load and get rid of the stuff.
Items you don't need can take up a lot of space, although it's easy to amass them over time. Donate them to charity, gift them, or have a garage sale. You'll save yourself a huge amount of work when moving day arrives if you have eliminated items you don't want or need.
Find babysitters to help out with children to give you some time to pack. Also, find help on moving day to avoid tears as the children watch their beloved toy chest being moved out of the house, and keep them away from those moving heavy furniture, and so on. The doors will be open, so board your pets for moving day if you can.
Moving is a challenge, in particular for first time home buyers. Keep these moving tips in mind and you'll find that moving day will go smoothly and you'll be settled in your new home in no time.
