When moving to a new home, it is extremely important to make sure that everything is planned out thoroughly. This is true regardless if you’re moving to another country, or a few streets away. Naturally, in order to have a successful relocation, you have to think of many key factors. However, one of the most important aspects you must consider is picking the perfect moving date. Life, unfortunately, doesn’t stop just because you have to move. You still have to go to work, study, or manage your home. All of this is a part of your daily life, and your move must fit around all these tasks. This is why you need to pick a date that doesn’t clash with these things. Luckily, Roadway Moving is here to tell you more about relocating during peak & non-peak moving seasons. With our help, you’ll be one step closer to a flawless relocation.

The non-peak season allows you to slowly and carefully plan your move and your budget

On average, around 60% of people who have to move, plan their big day during the summer and spring seasons. This is mainly because the weather is nice, and school is out of session. This is considered to be the peak moving season, and relocating could be difficult because movers are very busy. But despite this, moving during this period certainly has its benefits. And so does moving during non-peak seasons! In this text, we’ll take a deeper look into both peak and non-peak moving seasons, and show you their benefits.

Peak & non-peak moving season – what is the difference?

Before we dive into the pros of both choices, we need to understand what they actually are. When discussing the best time to move, the term “season” does partially refer to the time of the year. But more than that, it refers to the times when people move the most and the least. The peak moving season is, naturally, the time when people move the most. This refers to summer and spring, but also holidays. Tenant leases usually expire during the summer months, and this is when most people seek local and long distance moving services. In addition to this, people are on holiday and have more free time to dedicate to moving. The important thing to note is that movers are very busy in this period, so you need to book them well in advance to secure a reliable company.

Relocating during peak season guarantees clear skies and beautiful weather

All other times of the year, are considered to be the non-peak moving season. People move less often in the fall and the winter, and thus there is less business. This is the biggest difference between relocating during peak & non-peak moving seasons. During this time, you won’t have a difficult time finding a crew to move you. But, even though more movers are available, you still need to do your research and choose the right moving company. Carefully compare your options and pick a team that best fits your needs and budget. Needless to say, moving in the non-peak season is a much less stressful experience.

The pros of relocating during peak moving season

Even though the peak season is considered busy and hectic, there are still many benefits to it, such as:

  • The weather. – If you want a pleasant and stress-free move, you certainly don’t want to move in the middle of a blizzard or autumn rain. The nice weather of late spring and summer promises a smooth and enjoyable ride. There won’t be any wet or frozen roads, low visibility, and heavy rainfall.
  • Plenty of time to plan. – Many people take time off of work during the summer, which means that you can, besides hiring NY packing services, ask a few friends or relatives to help you relocate. a DYI move certainly is a riskier option, but with enough time to prepare, everything will be fine.
  • Easy budget boosting with garage sales. – The weather is nice, and you just finished decluttering. So why not combine these two facts and boost your moving budget? Organize a yard sale and pocket some extra cash from your unused goods.
  • The housing market opportunities. – There are many more houses available for sale or rent during the spring than in autumn. This means that you have a higher chance of landing that ideal home you’ve been eyeing!
If you know that you can easily find movers at any time, you don’t have to rush the process.

The pros of relocating during non-peak moving season

Just because the weather isn’t favorable, it doesn’t mean your move can’t be amazing. Relocating during the non-peak moving season brings with it these perks:

  • More reliable movers to choose from. – This is the greatest difference between relocating during peak & non-peak moving seasons. Finding professional interstate movers which fit your needs is much easier during this period. There is less work, which means there are more choices available. 
  • Moving discounts. – In order to attract clients, many movers offer great discounts during non-peak seasons. Thanks to this fact, your move can become considerably cheaper.
  • More time to prepare. – If you know that you can easily find movers at any time, you don’t have to rush the process. Take your time, accomplish your moving tasks one by one, and your move will be nothing but successful.
  • Safe and speedy shipment. – The season isn’t busy, which means the roads aren’t busy! The chances of traffic jams and delays are minimal, which means your movers have a clean route to transport all of your precious items.

In conclusion

Now that you know the pros of relocating during peak & non-peak moving seasons, you are able to plan your move with more ease. Of course, sometimes the luxury of preparing in advance isn’t an option, due to life events. However, you now know just how much you can benefit, no matter when you decide to relocate. In the end, both moving periods are a good solution, and although it isn’t a competition, there is no distinct winner. It all depends on your personal time, budget, and preferences.
