A Moving New Year’s Resolution

Are you hoping to move into a new home in the new year?

Whether you are changing apartments, moving to a new town, or buying a new house: your “new year -new home” resolution can start with these few steps:

1. Start Home-Hunting Now

Winter prices tend to be lower than spring and summer. Beat the real-estate spike by starting early. Prices typically rise as the springtime market heats up. Get ahead of the crowds and start your home search during the off-season.

2. Research Moving Companies

Get an idea of your moving costs ahead of time. Compare reliable moving company rates so that you know what you will need to  budget and plan for move day.

3. Contact Your Mover 30-45 Days Before Your Move

Scheduling early will allow you adequate time to properly packing and prepare for your move, and avoid move day surprises.

4. Schedule Your Move For End-of-Winter or Early Spring

Just like the real-estate market, moving prices tend to rise in the busy spring-summer move season. If you can avoid a summer move, it will save you money.

5. Take Advantage of the Weather

Winter is a great time to embark on indoor packing and decluttering projects. Hunker down this winter and get your belongings organized! And if you need to move some items into storage – movers are readily available to help during the slower winter months.
