Moving can be a back-breaking process. Everything needs to be planned accordingly so moving day will run smoothly. The moving day is the critical part of the move as it can make the move easy or excruciating. There are various considerations when choosing what is the best day to move into a new home.
Considerations
1. Season
Summer would be the best time to move if you have children who are out of school and can help you. Also, friends would be more likely to be free in the summer to help with the move. However, this is where most of moving takes place in the United States. Rates of moving companies and traffic will be at their peak at this time. Moving at between late fall to early spring would be an ideal if there are no time constraints and no children.
2. Weather
Spring or late fall would be an ideal time to move in regard to weather. In the summer, there is a risk of becoming overheated or having a heat stroke during the move. Winter would also be a difficult time to move due to icy roads and difficulty in moving items through the snow into the new house or apartment. Severe damage to items can occur during extreme changes in climate when moving. Also, there is more risk of injury in the winter due to snow, ice, and limited muscle movement due to the cold.
3. Time of the week
Mondays through Thursday are some of the best days to move. Once again, rates of the moving companies and traffic are high during the weekend. A moving company has fewer movers on the weekends due to these companies being busier on these days. Sometimes moving companies are not open on Sundays. However, friends and family would be likely free to help move on the weekends.
