Are you selling your home this holiday season? You’re probably aware that spring and summer are known for being the best time to sell a home. But if you’re military with orders in hand, waiting a few extra months for the traditional moving season to roll in might not be a luxury you have. You might be surprised to note that there are several advantages to selling your home during the holidays!
Here are a few ways to prep your home for sale despite the snow:
We’d just arrived at my husband’s new duty station, and my time was filled with getting kids settled into routines, figuring out housing, and completing all the miscellaneous, time-consuming tasks that go along with an overseas move. When our days in temporary lodging stretched into weeks, I decided to fill some of my empty hours with finishing an online editing course I’d put off. It ended up breathing new life into the remote work I’d started a couple years earlier, and I was happily surprised to have new jobs lined up before we even moved into our house.
It’s not always that seamless.
Consider your choice to rent a home a significant and definitive step in the PCS process. Here’s to one less problem to solve! When it comes down to choosing a rental home, there can never be too many tips, but we’ve rounded up the best ones to point you in the right direction to hopefully avoid disappointment.
A PCS is hard enough, don’t you think? Then, when you add young kids into the mix, you’ve entered a whole other level of complicated. But what about their PCS travel experience? How do you prepare for that?
It isn’t uncommon to dread a PCS. There isn’t a lot to love: the mess, the chaos, the broken items, the list goes on and on… But for some, the move is a golden opportunity to redecorate. A PCS is the perfect excuse to start planning for the next house. Envisioning a new couch, picking out the perfect paint color, and choosing fresh bed linens is just the beginning of the process. There’s no shortage of excitement surrounding each detail it takes to personalize your upcoming home with decorating inspiration.
We talk a lot about the resilience of military kids, especially during April, Month of the Military Child. And while it’s true that military children can handle the challenges regularly thrown their way, it’s also true that a PCS move can be difficult for even the most adaptable kid. After all, their entire world changes and they’re forced to start over in every possible way: New home, new location, new schools, new friends, and more.
