Choosing the Best Date for Your Move

Published: November 01, 2021

The date that you decide to move out can play a big role in how easy or stressful the whole experience is. In some cases, you might not have a lot of choice, and already have a predetermined date set for you. But if your moving date is more flexible, what is the best day to start the process? Here’s what you should know.

The best type season

Moving during the summertime has its benefits like nice weather, but moving companies usually don’t have much availability. The winter tends to have more openings, but then you’ll have to deal with the cold weather and potential snow. Fall and Spring are the best times to move since both the climate and prices are more reasonable. 

The best time of month

Before you decide on a month to move, it’s important to note that the beginning and end of the month are always the busiest. Since there are more people moving closer to the beginning or end of a lease date, prices tend to go up for professional help and moving trucks as well. It’s a safe bet to move during the middle of the month. 

The best day of the week

The weekends are more expensive than weekdays, since the demand for moving services is much higher on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. While moving on the weekend may be the easiest option, it might be better to move in the middle of the week to save some money.
