moving sale

Pre-departure home clearance

A moving sale is a sale of household items held when someone is relocating, typically to avoid transporting belongings to a new home.

Similar to a garage sale or yard sale, but motivated by an impending move rather than routine decluttering: We're having a moving sale Saturday—everything must go.
