Hey there!
You’ve probably heard it before, “Summer’s the best time to move!” But let’s challenge that notion a bit. As the leaves begin to change and we pull out those cozy sweaters, fall presents itself as a pretty stellar time to make that big move. Not convinced? Stick with me, and I’ll give you some solid reasons and tips to consider a fall move.
1. Avoiding the Rush
Summer gets all the hype. Yes, the sun’s out, schools are on break, but guess what? EVERYONE is trying to move. Fall, on the other hand, is like that secret sweet spot. Moving companies are less swamped, and sometimes, if you play your cards right, you might even snag a better rate!
2. Cooler Weather? Yes, Please!
Remember that time you tried moving a sofa in the scorching July sun? Yeah, not fun. Fall gives you that perfect cool breeze. It’s like nature’s own air conditioning, making the whole lifting and hauling thing less sweaty and more comfortable.
3. Slippy Leaves and Early Sunsets
Now, here’s where we gotta be a tad careful. Fall does mean beautiful leaves on the ground, but watch your step, especially when you’re carrying that prized lamp. Oh, and with the sun playing peek-a-boo a bit earlier, make sure you’ve got some good lighting if your move runs into the evening.
4. Play Dress-up with Your Wardrobe
Packing up? This is the perfect time to rearrange your wardrobe. Those summer shorts can take a backseat. Bring out the jackets and scarves. And hey, rediscovering that favorite fall jacket can be like meeting an old friend.
5. New Home? Do a Little Fall Cleaning
Got the keys to your new place? Before the winter chill sets in, give it a once-over. Clean out the gutters, check the heating, and maybe find those sneaky drafts and seal them up. Trust me, future-you will be thankful when winter hits.
8. Deals and Promos? Keep an Eye Out!
Sometimes moving companies have some cool fall deals. It’s worth asking. After all, who doesn’t love a good deal?
There you have it! Fall might just be your new favorite moving season. With a bit of preparation and the right mindset, you can make your fall move not only smooth but also enjoyable. So, here’s to new beginnings and jumping into crunchy leaves!
