If you or your elderly loved one is planning a move to a new home in the near future, you should consider scheduling it during the summer. Though summer is often thought of as a time for leisure and fun, it’s actually the most ideal time of the year to move.
In this post, senior move managers Busy Buddies, Inc. share five reasons why summer is the best season for moving:
-
Weather – Summer brings mild weather that’s conducive to moving. You don’t have to worry about threats like a snowstorm that could derail your plans and lead to significant delays and hassle.
-
Kids and School – School is off in the summer, so if you have children, a summer move won’t disrupt their lives too much. Moving in June or July gives you and your family time to settle in your new home before school begins in the fall.
-
Garage Sales – Garage sales are most popular during the summer. So, if you’re moving homes and plan to declutter your home via a garage sale, you’re likely to be more successful by doing this in the summer. This will also allow you to earn extra income to help you with moving expenses.
-
Selling Your Home – Summer is also one of the best times to sell your home. The reason for this is often attributed to the weather and the upcoming school year. The pleasant weather makes your home look more attractive to potential buyers, giving you a better chance at a good sale.
-
Children Moving Out – If you have a child who just graduated high school, it’s likely that they’ll be leaving home to travel, learn to be independent or go to college in a different state.
