Another thought is, "will it cost more to transport all your furniture to Florida as opposed to buying furniture in Florida?"

One more is, "will your present furniture be the style you will want in Florida?"
Those are good questions. I would say No to the first one and Partially to the second one: If and when we sell the condo, DH wants to sell everything except the dining room furniture, which would cost more to replace than the cost of our initial two movers, and will fit right in down here.

I love the idea of an estate sale. They are very popular in West MI. A company comes in, prices every single thing in your house, holds a three-day sale (advertised) and takes a percentage. They take care of everything, including donating anything that isn't sold. The trick is to sell your place and have a far-enough out closing date to get an estate sale set up.
