How to choose the right time to move?
You are moving, but you don’t know what day or time is the best? We will help you.
Take into account seasonality
Indeed, the activity of moving fluctuates according to the seasons. Be aware that the highest season is summer: indeed, the summer season is mostly the most popular period for families with children. For good reason? The back-to-school and the good weather, which makes it easier to project. Therefore, moving professionals are reviewing their rates between June and September. If you want to move during this time, we advise you to plan ahead. Conversely, the lowest season is winter, which is a relatively low period in the real estate sector, which also impacts the moving industry. This season will allow you to have a wide choice of movers and dates. Spring and fall form the mid-season. It’s a good time to move in terms of availability and weather.
Choose an optimal day
We recommend that you choose your moving day carefully, especially to save money. As in the summer season, weekends, holidays and school holidays are very popular. We advise you to be flexible and choose a weekday as much as possible, to get lower rates. Don’t panic, Jack! You may be eligible for a removal leave if your company’s collective agreement allows it, so please do not hesitate to inquire. If you are, you can apply for a regular leave. However, don’t forget to tell your employer in advance.
Prepare your move in advance
We advise you to plan your move at least 3 months in advance to prepare it in the best possible conditions. If you are currently a tenant, please review the end of your lease to allow you to set a moving date. If your new home is under construction, contact your builder to determine the best completion date so you can anticipate your arrival.
