Here at Sorensen Moving and
Storage, we believe that every day is a great day to move! However, if you are
trying to determine when would be the best time for you to plan your move, here
are a few things to consider:
School
Calendar
If you have children at home,
then their school calendar is something that you will definitely want to take
into consideration. Summer is generally the ideal time for families with kids
to relocate, as children have completed their grade and have had the chance to
say goodbye to their school friends. When scheduling your move date, try to arrive
at your new home at least a few weeks before the start of the next school year.
This gives your children the chance to unpack, get settled, meet new friends,
and become acquainted with their new neighborhood. Having the opportunity to do
these things and to make their new house their home will allow them to be much
better prepared for the school year.
Holidays
If possible, try to avoid moving
right before major holidays since being with family and friends is such a big
part of these times. If you do have to move before a holiday, try to do so in advance
so that you have the opportunity to meet new people, feel a sense of belonging
in your new community, and have others to spend these special times with.
Seasonal
Considerations
Out of all the seasons, most
people would agree that summer is probably the most advantageous time to move.
Children are not in school, the weather is usually pretty good, and daylight
hours are longer. However, summer tends to be the busiest time of year for
moving companies, and rates may be higher during these peak times.
The
Best Time
If you are flexible with your
move dates and don’t have children, spouses, jobs, and school to consider, then
the best time of the year to move would probably be the late spring or early
fall. The weather during these seasons is mild, moving costs are typically
lower, and there are no major holidays during this time.
