Timing Your Move When's the best time to move? A smooth move depends a lot on its timing, so that everything will be more convenient for you as you move to your new home. Many people agree that the summer is the best time for a move. Especially if you have children, summer means that they are on vacation and won't have to miss classes and suddenly be thrust into a new class in the middle of the school season. That being said, it is always wise to consider you children's school calendar if you plan on moving. Moving in the summer also give you a chance to prepare for the coming holidays in your new home. Summer also means good weather, as rain definitely will make your moving harder. Water damage is a possibility, and the mere hauling of your boxes will prove to be a nightmare in rainy weather. The same applies in winter, as subjecting your things so sudden changes in temperature, like moving from a temperate region to a much colder place will be sure to damage your stuff. Of course, if you are moving because of a new job, all of these tips might as well be null and void, as you will probably be needed as soon as possible in your new place of work. But before things go that far, try to negotiate if your move can fall at a more moving-conducive season, instead of having to pack up and leave right away.
