Hello World! Welcome Friends! There are lots of expenses to consider when moving house, from the cost of removal services to the purchase of new furnishings, so we should always be prepared for a dent in our finances.
However, we can soften the financial blow by finding ways to make money. In some cases, we might even make a profit when moving instead of a loss, which will be good news to those of us worried about the potential increased living costs associated with a new property and location.
The easiest way to make money during a house move is to downsize your possessions. While you could donate or recycle some of the items you no longer need, you could give yourself a financial boost by selling them.
With this in mind, you could:
1. Use the Services of an Estate Sales Company
Moving house is stressful as the list of jobs you will have to do will be nearly endless. To make your life easier, you should use the services of anybody who could help you with your to-do list. When it comes to the sale of your items, the services of an Estate Sales Company will be invaluable, as they will determine which items in your home are worth selling and will make sure they are sold at the right price. Follow the previous link to learn more and consider the services of a relevant company near you.
2. Hold a Yard or Garage Sale
A good old-fashioned yard or garage sale is a great way to make cash from your unwanted items. When you decide on a day – weekends are usually best – you should advertise the sale by sticking up posters around the neighborhood and by creating a post on social media. You need to be prepared for people who will try to bargain with you so know what prices you are willing to go down to when you’re labeling each item for sale.
3. Sell Your Items on Social Media
If you don’t have time to hold a yard sale and you don’t want to hire somebody to organize the sale of your items, you could sell your unwanted goods on social media instead. Look for the relevant Facebook groups for selling second-hand items or set up a shop on Instagram and then take flattering pictures of your items to encourage people to buy them.
4. Find Other Ways to Sell Your Items Online
Amazon and eBay are the obvious places to sell unwanted items but you will also find websites that specialize in buying specific items, such as phones, books, furniture, and clothing. There are even websites that will buy your moving boxes from you after you have settled into your new home, such as BoxCycle. So, spend a bit of time online and choose the websites that are likely to give you more bang for your buck!
Finally
Moving house is expensive but that doesn’t mean your finances have to suffer. Do what you can to make money as this way, you will have less financial stress and you might have excess money to purchase anything you need for your new home.
