First Month in New Home |

The move is over! The packing is almost done. Now what? Now it’s time to actually enjoy being in your new home. This is an exciting time that you and your family will want to remember for years to come. Here are some tips to help you enjoy the first few months (and years to come) in your home.

1. Give Extra Attention to Children or Pets

Moving may be hard for you, but it’s often even harder on children and pets. Without understanding the excitement of a new home, young children and pets have a harder time making the transition to a new space and community. Spend time with them exploring the rooms of your home, the backyard, and the neighborhood to make the change easier.

2. Meet the Neighbors

Now is the time to introduce yourself to your new neighbors! Who knows, you could be meeting a lifelong friend! Sometimes neighbors will come to welcome you, but if not, don’t be shy about knocking on the door and introducing you and your family.

3. Get to Know Your New Community

When you decided to buy a new home, you probably spent a lot of time researching the surrounding community. Throughout the month after your move, make a special effort to go out and get to know your community members and local shopping areas.

This is the time to get to know your new home, neighbors and community! Don’t worry if you still have boxes to unpack… enjoy the new atmosphere and the new place that you now call HOME.
