Moving to a new home can bring on lots of change. Taking a different route to work, getting accustomed to new neighbors, and trying to determine a new routine can take some time. To help with some of the adjustments, I have assembled a list of the top things that would be of help to any new homeowner.

Simple things like a complete set of cleaning supplies will be of great help not only the day of move-in but also in the weeks to months to follow. A set of basic hand tools can come in handy when hanging new artwork or window treatments or making a simple repair like a loose light switch or a door that sticks occasionally.

Certain items should be bought right away like smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher. We never know when a seemingly small accident can turn in to a major disaster and these preventive items are good to have on hand.

With the right supplies and tools, moving into a new home can be a much easier task and make homeownership more enjoyable.
