Advantages & Disadvantages of Moving in the Fall

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Advantages:

1. The weather is typically good

If you opt to move during the summer months, you could probably have to cope with high temps as well as humidity. In other words, you'll sweat a lot while you load and unload your stuff. However, the winter season conditions tends to make moving cold, miserable, and in some cases hazardous.

The fall is a good time to move as you stay away from extremes of cold or hot. Autumn temps are generally pleasant, and you likely won't have to be concerned about wintry or icy driving conditions.

2. Professional movers could have reduced prices

Summertime is typically the peak season for moving. Given that autumn comes after peak season, you might be able to get a better deal when employing a moving company in Wichita Falls.

3. Professional movers could have more availability

Another advantage of moving during the fall months is that the moving company will be in a better position to accommodate your moving dates, considering that their schedule isn't as stuffed.

Disadvantages:

1. It might be more difficult to sell your residence

If you do not at the moment rent and have not sold your residence yet, then fall might be a tough time of the year to have a purchaser to close on it. Although, we must say that in the current market, this might not be too much of a problem.

2. It could be hard to "settle into" a new house right before the holiday season

Most people are consumed by the holiday season, either on an individual or a business level. Moving to a different spot is usually stressful at any time and might end up being even more so right before the most hectic time of the year (at least for lots of people). In addition, for those who have children, you will need to really coordinate the move so that they can transition into a new location with minimum tension - and autumn might not be a good time to make that happen.

3. The weather might be unpredictable

Fall weather conditions are frequently enjoyable, and free from extremes in temp or humidity. Nevertheless, there is still an element of volatility regarding autumn weather patterns. For example, should you be relocating to or from a northern climate, there's always the possibility that an unforeseen snowstorm may strike at the end of autumn - possibly in November, or even October! There's also a chance that you have to deal with a sudden heat wave, or unanticipated falls in temperature.

Needless to say, whether you elect to move in the autumn or not, you should definitely look at getting assistance from professional movers to make your transition as effortless as is possible.
