i am not talking about moving all our furniture, just some.
Living room furniture, boxes of kitchen stuff, towels, sheets, clothes, some fairly new mattress?
We are planning to buy a lot of new furniture.
Are we talking $7500? $10,000? $20,000?
Thanks in advance.

We moved here from Marblehead, Ma in 2007 and I do not recall the cost, but it far less costly than a mover and I would guess probably lower than any of your numbers by half. Obviously prices have increased.
Getting a cost estimate is easy.
Moving & Storage Company, Moving Containers | PODS
The PODs process for us.\
My wife and I were 63 at the time and in good health.
Like you we decided to buy new at The Villages so had limited items like you describe.
We guesstimated a 16 foot Pod.
We sold, gave away, scrapped, every thing not going south'
We collected boxes to pack stuff not going south
We laid out a 16 ft pod dimension in our garage and placed packed stuff in that template.
POD was dropped off two weeks prior to move.
Moved stuff from Template to POD
Scheduled POD Pickup day before closing.
Stayed at Bed and Breakfast day before closing.
Closed and left for the Villages.
POD delivered within several days.
We unloaded (Note a good sturdy Hand truck helped the whole process)
Note We still brought too much stuff.
Also, if you spend some time here prior to move, Do yourself a favor and go to the Estate sales before you buy all new. If you could spend a month here prior to moving, I'm sure you could find some great buys that might also eliminate the need for bringing more stuff south.
