We purchased a home while renting and made our decision in just 3 days although we had been viewing and analyzing homes for several months before coming down and had also spent several winters down here. We chose not to bring our furniture down with a few exceptions. The biggest problem we have is what to do with everything we accumulated over the last 48 years, we are not really hoarders but have one heck of a lot of stuff. We started going through it and either selling, donating, giving away, or trashing lots of stuff. Knowing that we had a lot we ended up buying a 4 bedroom house so that one of the bedrooms will replace at least part of our basement, it is now called the basement room instead of bedroom. Im glad we did this before we got too much older as it is a lot harder getting this stuff out than it was getting it in. Good luck with whatever decisions you make..
