In the real estate business, homes are bought and sold in a matter of weeks, if not days. In a perfect world, selling your current residence and immediately moving into your new home would match up perfectly.
However, there are situations where you sell your current residence quicker than expected, leaving you without a place to go before you can move into your next home. So, what options are left for you and your family? One of the most common routes is to go into a short-term lease. Here are a few tips for settling into your short-term housing.
Pack the Necessities
As you begin to venture into temporary corporate housing, it’s good to look over your necessities. Take a look and make a checklist of what you need most during your short time in your temporary residence.
You might consider bringing every belonging you own but practicing restraint is vital; only pack what you need most. Put your unnecessary goods in storage, leave them temporarily with family and friends, or give away anything you don’t need.
Meet Your Neighbors
During your short-term stay, get to know your neighbors for the time being. One of the best tips for settling into your short-term housing is to become familiar with your neighboring residents and spend time getting to know them before you leave.
You can invite them over for a quick meal or meet for cocktails on your porch. By entertaining your neighbors, you become familiar with the residence and the local area.
Choose a Furniture Package
Luckily, you don’t have to buy brand new furniture for your temporary home. Some homes come fully furnished, or you can go rent furniture for your temporary space. The rental bundles usually come with couches, tables, beds, and much more.
What’s even better is that you aren’t required to bring your rented furniture along to your new home after you finish your temporary residence. You can find the best furniture bundle based on style, budget, and home needs.
