Moving to a new home is expensive. The costs don’t end once the mo✱ving truck pulls out of the driveway.

A new Realtor.com survey found that movers spend almost $20,000 setting up their new homes, often feeling motivated to update their lifestyles with new items and services.

Movers bought new furnishings, with 40% of Realtor.com users also getting new appliances. A third of movers also updated their home and auto insurance and made other changes to their spending habits. Movers, including renters, are three times more likely to buy or 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:lease a car than peo꧑ple who stay put,🍨 according to the survey, with many getting larger vehicles than they had before.

A report released in January by moving company HireAHelper found that almost 26 million Americans moved in 2024, or about 8% of the population.

“It's a moment of possibility—one where people are open to trying new things and spending both time and money to settle into their new homes," said Laura Eddy, vice president of research and Insights at Realtor.com.

Moving alters how people shop, according to Realtor.com. Online grocery usage jumped from 37% to 67% for movers in their new homes. Similarly, 65% of users reported utilizing 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:online pharmacy services, reflecting a more than 40% increase after moving.

More than 30% of movers also s💞witched companies for their home or auto insurance, and a similar amount added a new type of coverage, such as flood or fire insurance.
