Will most likely give it all away or have a moving sale.

From you post, I assume you have your,"up north," home for sale, it is loaded with too much stuff and it is not selling.
Your broker is failing you or you are not listening. Your too much stuff is literally costing you money as you are paying taxes, heating, cooling and eventually you home will sell for less than it might if it was not so full of STUFF.
If, you can't deal with this you should hire one of those tag sale people.
We had a year or two to plan our move. I sold several thousands of dollars worth of stuff on ebay-it was fun but a lot of work. We had about 6 garage sales and each time did over $1,000. Before we listed our home, I gave away thousands of dollars worth of STUFF t neighbors. We made soooo many trips to the town dump that the guy knew my name. I had copper wire, copper pipe and it scraps for about $2.50 a pound. It came to several hundred dollars.
We spent a few bucks and had the place painted. As instructed by our broker, we removed our wall to wall carpet-which I liked.
I did my research for comparable sales. And to my surprise, we sold our house in one week and got full listing price and CASH.
If, you home is listed for sale and it is not selling if, you have a GOOD BROKER, they should be able to tell you why it is not selling and what to do to make it more salable.
