Items I jumped on quickly thereafter:
1) Gutters
2) Purchase Washer/Dryer
3) NOVA Water filters
What I wished I had done prior to moving in for convenience sake (stuff I managed after I had already moved in):
1) Epoxy of garage
2) Staining of driveway
3) Replacing the rolled vinyl and carpet with luxury vinyl planking (I have a patio villa so this may not apply to you).
In my opinion, everything else can wait.
And most important - get out right away and meet and socialize with your neighbors! ������

Some good advice here with a couple of tweaks.
The vast majority of us have survived quite well without a whole house water filter. I would delay any of the work you "wish you done prior to move in" till after move in. That is because 1) you don't have a good feel for if you actually want it till you move in and 2) you should be on site to ensure the work is to your satisfaction.
