Where to Find the Best Used Furniture for New Home Buyers

Purchasing a new home can be one of the most exciting moments in a person’s life. However, that excitement can quickly turn into stress when you begin to think about all the furniture you need to buy. Thankfully, you don’t have to break the bank in search of the perfect furniture to style your home. Here’s where to find the best used furniture as a new home buyer.

Your Local Thrift Store

It doesn’t get much better than a quick browse through your local Goodwill Arizona store to find exactly what you need at a fraction of the price. Donated items vary by store, so it might take a few trips to multiple locations before you find just what you’re looking for. If you’re on a tight budget, Goodwill has your back. Shop on our 50% off Saturdays to get more of a discount.

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook is good for more than just reminding you it’s your aunt’s birthday. It has its own marketplace that allows users to buy and sell used items, including furniture. Think of it like Craigslist, except you can skim through their public profile before meeting them in person. Keep in mind you may have to travel across town to pick up an item, so if quick access is concern, you might be better off browsing your nearest Goodwill.

OfferUp

If you rely heavily on reviews before making a large purchase, then OfferUp is for you. OfferUp is an app you can download on your phone to find used furniture in your area (as well as other items) and make an offer with the click of a button. Curious how that seller ranks? Just click on their profile and read reviews from previous buyers before you proceed. Just be sure to shop smart. Experts recommend meeting buyers in a safe meet-up spot.

Chairish

If you prefer to keep your furniture buying strictly online, Chairish offers free shipping on thousands of furniture items. You can search tons of designer, vintage, and gently used furniture, and they even have an app! Because Chairish sells gently used pieces that have already been refurbished, discounts might not be as great as they are at Goodwill, where you’ll find items that you can refurbish yourself.

As a new home buyer, we know that you’ve got plenty on your mind. Let this be the easiest decision you make all week. Visit your local Goodwill Arizona store to start shopping today for affordable furniture that will make your new house feel like a home.
