How To Save Some Serious Money When Moving Home

Whether you’re considering buying your dream retirement property or want to move abroad, it’s no secret that moving house can quickly get expensive. After all, there are so many different things you have to pay for, from moving van hire to realtor fees. However, this doesn’t mean you have to put your aspirations on hold, especially if you’re craving a change of scenery.

With that in mind, here are some top tips that you can use to save some serious money when moving! 

 

  • Work with a realtor. While hiring a realtor may seem like an additional expense, they can often save you a great deal of money in the long run. This is because they have a great insight into the housing market, and will be able to advise you on the different steps you can take to sell your home quickly. For example, they’ll let you know whether or not you need to improve your home before selling it. This means you can increase your asking price, giving you more money to use during the move itself. 


  • Put together a budget. The easiest way to save money is to understand how much cash you have to play around with in the first place. As such, you should put together a moving budget. You can use this moving calculator to get you started so that you have at least a ballpark idea of how much everything will cost. Understanding your budget ahead of time gives you a chance to save up some extra money. 


  • Shop around for the best deal. No matter what part of your to-do list you’ve reached, it’s important that you shop around for the best deal before spending any money. For example, if you’re considering hiring out a storage unit, so that you can pack up your home gradually and ensure your belongings are safe during the chaotic moving price, you should research different storage units prices online. This way, you know that you’re getting the best possible deal and can stay within your budget.


  • Move during the spring. According to a recent study, spring is the best time to move if you are looking to save money. This is because summer is considered to be peak moving time, and increased demand means that suppliers, such as moving companies, can increase their prices accordingly. Moving during the off season means that you can get better deals, and you’ll already be settled in your new home when summer rolls around. 


  • Declutter. Decluttering your home may not initially seem to be a money-saving technique when moving, but you’d be surprised about just how much cash you can save. After all, the fewer items you have to move, the less money you’ll have to spend on shipping or removal vans. Additionally, if your items are in good working order, you may be able to resell them. This means that you could actually earn money while moving, and you can spend the extra cash on new furniture for your home.
