The Spring season is here. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and you’re moving. What could go wrong with that? The weather is excellent, the roads are safe, the moving prices are considerate, selling your home will be a breeze, and you’ll make a huge profit after sale. But moving in the spring also has its disadvantages: your kids are still in school, and spring is known for unpredictable weather.
At first glance, the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages, but that’s provided the weight is balanced on each side. Remember, kids, weigh a lot if you’re a parent. The fact that they’re still in school could be the deciding factor. Again, if you don’t have kids, the fact that school is still in session is inconsequential. You can see how complicated moving in spring gets.
At Sam’s Cleaning and Hauling, we can’t influence your decision, but we provide a few tips on how to make your spring moving experience hassle-free. Highlighted below are the advantages, the disadvantages, and the tips for success when it comes to moving in the spring.
The Advantages of Moving in the Spring
A time for new beginnings, spring is generally considered to be an auspicious time to move. Advantages include:
Great Weather: Not too cold nor not too hot, spring has the perfect weather conditions for moving house. Heavy lifting is easier in the mild weather, and you don’t have to take precautions when it comes to protecting your belongings from extreme weather conditions.
Safe Roads: No ice, no snow, no issue. With the worst of the road conditions behind you, driving is relatively safe during the spring.
Affordable Moving Costs: April is the peak of the moving season, but if you plan your move in early spring, you’ll overcome the mid-May rush when prices start to increase. If you do your bookings early, you’ll likely receive a substantial bargain.
The Perfect Time to Sell Your Home: Summer is the time for moving; spring is the time for selling. With many Americans wanting to move during summer when the kids are out of school, you’ll have the upper hand closing the deal on your home. Fewer negotiations and higher demand make for a quick sale with a little extra money to put toward your move.
The disadvantages of Moving in the spring:
Discussed below are the disadvantages of moving in the spring:
1. Kids are Still in School
Depending on what you read, taking kids out of school in the middle of the school year to move will cause drama at best, and trauma at worst. Most parents don’t want to risk it, it’s not their fault. The fact that kids are still in school during the spring is enough of a reason for most parents to be patient until the summer.
2. Unpredictable Weather
April showers may bring May flowers, but they can also bring problematic road conditions. You may need to take precautions to make sure your belongings are safe from water damage, and your family is safe on the road.
