Congrats and welcome! Here's my two suggestions:

1)Pack and move less stuff. I have yet to meet anyone who says they brought too few things. You will most likely find that you paid to move stuff down that you end up giving away or storing in your attic.

2) measure your furniture (sofa, beds, dressers dining/kitchen table etc) before you come down and start your house hunt. That way when you are house hunting you will know if the space fits your furniture or not. TV does a great job of staging some model homes but looks can be deceiving and you may discover the sofa or dining table they used to stage a room is 6" shorter than yours, which, in smaller rooms can really make a difference
