Cheryl Burke has continued making significant changes in her life.

Even though she did not specifically mention where she intended to move to, Burke recently took to her Instagram page to inform her 732k followers that she is "saying goodbye" to her "home of 16 years."

Donning a white harness-style crop top, a matching baseball cap, black flared bottoms, and a checkered skirt around her waist, the "Dancing with the Stars" alum stood in front of multiple moving boxes as she addressed the camera. Kicking off, she told viewers:

"I'm saying goodbye to my home. I’ve been here for 16 years, and with that comes a lot of stuff. [I’m] overwhelmed, and I don’t have a lot of time, guys. I mean, a 30-day escrow."

After saying that, she started showing off the treasures she discovered while packing her stuff, including multiple magazines that contained stories about her, compact discs that she and her "DWTS" co-stars used to rehearse, and old newspaper clippings featuring her and her dance partners.

Burke's post expectedly received plenty of responses from fans and praise for her desire for a change of scenery in the comment section. One fan playfully pointed out, "I have 30 days to pack...spends hours and hours going down memory lane. Girl you are all of us!!"

Another person commented, "You are handling it like a pro and with humor! Always look forward, never look back. congratulations on your forward!" An excited fan wrote, "Congrats on selling on your home! Sending lots of best wishes on this chapter of your life! Lots of love."

A fourth person who has probably experienced the same thing wrote, "How bitter sweet. What wonderful times we had there and what wonderful memories you will make in your new home! Congratulations gorgeous."

Fans had similarly rallied around the blonde superstar when she asked them to suggest places she could start afresh on August 11. At the time, she had shared a video alongside a text overlay that read:

"When you suddenly wake up and realize you need to leave the city you've been living in for the past 16 years."

The most popular choices amongst responders were Miami, Florida, and New York City. As one fan enthusiastically gushed, "You should go to New York City @cherylburke because it's so beautiful there and that's where I was born and that's my city of birth and you'll love it up there too!! 🗽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊.”

Meanwhile, this netizen claimed, "Sonoma County is calling! We are laid back and chill here," emphasizing that the area had "No paparazzi! No drama! Nice people! Beautiful coastlines! Tons of hiking! Redwood trees! Guy Fieri!"

Other suggestions included Georgia, Savannah, Chicago, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Salt Lake City, Arizona, Utah, Scottsdale, and South Dakota. With all these states to choose from, we cannot wait to see the one she finally went with.

Before she began processing her move from Los Angeles, Burke had updated her fans with the "5 things I will NEVER do (or do differently) in my next relationship" in a "Get Ready with Me" footage uploaded to Instagram.

Per The Blast, she began by disclosing that since she intentionally chose to remain single, she wanted to "truly and wholeheartedly love" herself first; otherwise "how can I love anybody else?"

Her next tip was to "try new things," which could be "as simple as trying a new restaurant together." She also planned to "maintain a meaningful and emotional connection with one another" due to the lack of meaning her past romances suffered after the "honeymoon phase started dwindling."

Additionally, Burke's fourth to-do was not to be scared of conflict regardless of how things turned out. For her fifth point, she stated, "I will continue to keep outside relationships with family [and] friends. Spend time with them, as opposed to dropping them all and being consumed."

Wrapping up, she reminded her followers that their "family and friends are there forever. Boyfriends come and go, even husbands," thus they should not be disregarded.
