When did you start packing?
We found out Thursday that our offer on a short sale was accepted by the bank after less than a month! We have 45 days to close from offer acceptance and right now our close date is set for June 29th. The house we are moving out of is just under 3000 sq ft so needless to say we will have a lot of packing to do. I'm anxious to get started but I'm also terrified that something will go wrong in underwriting (we are going to rent out our current home so we will have two mortgages, this makes me nervous as far as getting the new loan approved although our loan officer seems unconcerned). So when did you feel comfortable enough to actually start packing?

Re: When did you start packing?
If we had bought move-right-in new construction, I would have started packing once we learned we had cleared all conditions with the underwriter -- about two weeks prior to closing.
I've been wondering the same thing! We're set to close on June 25th. Last time we moved we weren't prepared and spent the every moment we weren't at work the week before moving packing and cleaning out the apartment and it was horrible. Today & tomorrow we're going to start cleaning out closets and the basement, both spots where "stuff" and junk has accumulated. I figured this way we'll get a good chunk of any trash and goodwill donations taken care.
If you're looking for moving boxes, I found that Lowes has them much much cheaper than any uhaul or moving place. Good luck!!
