Think you’ve budgeted for your move? Don’t forget the “hidden” moving week expenses! 🏡✨
My partner and I sold and bought a home this year, and even as a mortgage agent, real life handed us a few financial surprises along the way.
Between DIY staging, storage unit fees, sore backs from moving a 4 bedroom house ourselves, and week-one plumbing fixes, we faced $5,500+ in extra up front costs.
Having a 1–2% buffer budget built into our overall plan completely saved our sanity!
