Moving In Together

Moving in together for the first time as a couple brings about many changes. You will be sharing a new space, getting use to each other’s habits and sharing personal things like toothpaste and kitchenware. Moving in together also means you’ll realize that you have many duplicates from extra toasters to television sets, and even furniture. How many couches do you really need? Duplicates become more of an issue when you’re living in a smaller space, maybe a one- or two-bedroom apartment versus a single-family home. So before you actually move residences, the local Jacksonville moving specialistssuggest you get rid of some of the stuff by donating some things to charity. For the tangible household items that you have in double, such as the toaster for example, figure out which one of you two has the better quality and keep that one. The other, you can always donate or even sell if you hold a garage sale before the move. The Jacksonville moving team suggests you both understand that this new space is a new home for both of you and you share equal ownership of it. So neither of you should be the decision maker… regarding décor, houseguests, pets or even how to best use various rooms.

If you’re looking for a professional moving company to move you in, look no further, All My Sons of Jacksonville is reliable and affordable.

Rents Has Gone Up 5%

Renting use to be cheaper than buying and owning a house, but these days, in many cities across the U.S. that is no longer the case. Rent payments keep going up and home prices are standing still. The asking prices for homes declines 0.7% in the past year through the month of March while rent has gone up 5%. The local Jacksonville movers learned that the average rental price is at $1,350, up from $1,285 a year ago. Some metro areas are reporting double digits increases in rents, such as Sarasota, Florida where the average rent jumped 12.9%, scoring the highest increase in 100 largest metro areas. Miami and San Francisco had the next highest rent hikes with 12.1% and 11.1%. The local Jacksonville moving specialists found out the national vacancy rate for apartments is now at its lowest since 2001. Due to all of the foreclosures, many people were forced to leave their homes and rent apartments. This raised demands for rentals as well as price. Some cities have also constraints on building new multi-family housing, limiting supply. Besides better price tags on homes, the low mortgage rates have also made home buying more affordable.

Thinking About Moving?

If you think you might be due for a change, it may be time to consider moving away. The move doesn't have to be drastic, just moving 30 minutes away can make a big difference in your life. It might just be the different scenery you’re longing for. But before you make such a major commitment, there are a few things you should consider, such as cost of living and your possible new work commute. The local Jacksonville moving specialists suggest you examine the big picture and pinpoint all of the areas of your life that might be affected. Think about your work, friends, family, even the distances to some of the regular services you use like your local bank or your favorite bakery. The local Jacksonville movers remind you that some of those services are strongly tied to the relationships you've built with people over the years, like your personal banker who's been advising you.
