When To Start Packing For A Move
To avoid scrambling at the last minute, we recommend starting to packing for your move two to three months in advance.
How Long Does It Take To Pack For A Move?
Depending on the size of your home and how many belongings you own, everyone's move will look different. Two to three months is a good moving timeline, but you may require more or less time.
Do You Have A Large Home?
Because they contain more belongings, moving houses with multiple bedrooms, studios, and/or basements generally takes longer than those that don't.
Do You Have Children?
The typical timeline for traveling internationally can be extended by a month or two if you have children. In addition to focusing on your own trip, you also need to make sure your children are safe and supervised.
Take four to five weeks to narrow down what you’re taking
The first step, though time-consuming, is straightforward: you need to determine what belongings you want to keep and bring with you. The most direct way to achieve this goal is by methodically working through each room in your house/apartment. If the amount of stuff feels daunting, try some of these packing tips for help getting started.
Follow up with less valuable items
Non-valuable items are belongings you don't want to get rid of but could replace easily in your new home. These non-essential items can be anything: dining room chairs, small bookshelves, or extra silverware, for example.
