As I sit here in late July, watching the excitement of the Paris Olympics, it’s hard to believe that fall will be upon us in just a few short weeks. In the world of moving, we’re currently in the middle of the “busy season,” with many people taking advantage of the warm weather and long daylight hours.

But have you ever considered the benefits of moving in the fall? If you’re not tied to school schedules and have a certain amount of flexibility, autumn can be an ideal time to make a move. Here’s why:

1. Less Competition

Fall isn’t the peak moving season, so you may find it easier to schedule movers and secure discounts from moving companies. With fewer people moving, supply and demand work in your favor. Additionally, scheduling your move mid-week or mid-month can often result in lower rates.

2. Comfortable Weather

Even though the days are shorter and the weather is cooler, fall weather—especially here in Oregon—can be really lovely. You won’t have to deal with the summer heat and humidity, which can sap anyone’s energy. The crisp air and colorful foliage make for a pleasant moving experience.

3. Enhanced Curb Appeal

If you’re selling a house, fall foliage and seasonal décor can significantly boost your home’s curb appeal. A well-placed pumpkin or a beautifully decorated porch can make your property stand out.

Preparation Tips for a Fall Move

As with any move, preparation is key. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth transition:

a. Contact a Move Management Company: Reach out to a professional move management company, such as The Move Makers, to help with the planning and execution of your move. We can assist in creating a detailed timeline and checklist to keep you on track.

c. Plan Ahead: Book your moving services well in advance to secure your preferred dates. A move management company can coordinate all the logistics, ensuring everything goes smoothly on moving day.
