Ask these before deciding

  • Will it physically fit the next home?
  • Does it fit the next lifestyle, not just the next floor plan?
  • What does it cost to move versus to replace?
  • What condition is it honestly in?
  • Does it carry meaning worth keeping regardless?
  • If it goes to storage, what is the monthly cost and for how long?
  • Do you have the destination room dimensions yet?
  • Does the timing work — can it sell before the move?

Your items

No valuations are offered here — resale value depends on your local market, timing, and condition. Work one room at a time and keep emotional decisions in their own pass.
