In my adult life I have only actually moved a whole house once, last summer. I bought my parents house from them when I was 21 and they moved but left me all furniture with the house. I then moved to Toronto, kept my house in Scotland and bought all new stuff. When I lived in Malta I rented a fully furnished condo. When I moved back to Canada, I bought a new house and all brand new furniture, still kept my house in Scotland.
Eventually last summer my wife decided she wanted a new house so we had to finally move everything, biggest pain in the ass ever. I don't plan on moving a whole house ever again. I'll sell this one with everything in it and move Country before I move a whole house again. Weeks and weeks of packing, planning, fighting. Don't do it. We kept our old house for a week after we got the new one which was a huge help, meant I wasn't in a rush to get certain things moved. I was selling a bunch of stuff too so I could leave it at the old house and not have people come view it at my new place.
