Moving in the Fall

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Advantages:

1. The weather is usually pleasant

If you decide to move in the summer months, you will most likely have to address high temperatures along with humidity. In other words, you can expect to perspire a lot when you load and unload your things. Alternatively, the winter season conditions tends to make moving frigid, miserable, and even unsafe.

The autumn is a good time to move as you steer clear of extremes of cold and hot. Autumn temperatures are generally pleasant, and you most likely won't have to think about wintry or slippery driving conditions.

2. Professional movers might have lower prices

Summer is usually the peak season for moving. Since autumn comes after peak season, you might be able to get a better deal when working with a moving company in Dallas.

3. Professional movers might have more availability

An additional advantage of moving through the autumn is that the moving company may be in a better spot to allow for your moving dates, given that their schedule is not as full.

Disadvantages:

1. It might be more difficult to sell your house

If you don't currently rent and have not sold your home yet, then autumn might be a hard time of the year to get a buyer to close on it. Although, we must admit that in the current market, this might not be too much of an issue.

2. It could be tricky to "settle into" a new house right before the holiday season

A lot of people are absorbed by the holidays, either on a personal or a business level. Relocating to a new location is usually stressful at any time and could become doubly so right before the most busy time of the year (at least for many people). In addition, in case you have kids, you need to really coordinate the move so that they can transition into a new place with minimum stress - and fall might not be a good time to make that transpire.

3. The elements may be unstable

Fall weather is frequently enjoyable, and free of extremes in temps or humidity. Nevertheless, there is still a component of volatility concerning autumn weather patterns. For example, for anyone who is relocating to or from a northern climate, there's always the possibility that an unanticipated snowstorm will strike at the end of autumn - perhaps in November, or even October! Additionally, there is the chance that you have to deal with a sudden heat wave, or sharp falls in temperature.

Needless to say, regardless of whether you choose to move in the fall or not, you should always consider hiring the aid of professional movers to make your transition as seamless as possible.
