Really looking forward to spending a bit of time in our new place, meeting neighbors, and setting things up so we can maybe snowbird if the procrastination cycle can't be broken before winter. Anyway... see you soon!

Hire an estate sale or tag sale company to come in and go thru every last piece of "stuff", and have
them get rid of it
all and keep their percentage of the $$ proceeds.
Or, since you already have a furnished villa here, just leave the whole place intact, lock the doors, get a house watch person to check it weekly or every 2 weeks, and just come on down here and live for the winter.
Once you're here for an extended time, especially during the icy/windy/sub-zero winter in IL, you'll see that all that "stuff" really doesn't fit your new lifestyle that's downsized and where you're outside year-round, in sunshine almost every day.
