Most people may not realize it, but the moving industry is very seasonal. We have a peak season and slow seasons, just like other industries based around moving people and their belongings. The busiest season for moving companies runs from May through September. During these months, customers don’t have to worry as much about cold or bad weather. Plus, it’s easier to relocate with children since they are out of school during the summer months.

If you can manage it there are a lot of benefits to moving during the offseason. Arnoff knows that customers can have an easier time scheduling their moves and even find savings they wouldn’t have in busier months.

More Flexibility for the Moving Schedule

When you choose to relocate during the off-season, you have more freedom in scheduling moving appointments. Since movers are so busy during the summers, they often have few days available for packing and moving so you can only take what’s available. It also means that you’ll be able to start the moving process a lot sooner as you won’t have to schedule appointments weeks or months out.

Imagine being able to setup a moving estimate the same week you call a moving company, then arranging your packing appointment the next week. By the end of the month, it’s moving day and you could be on your way to your next home.

Faster Shipping of Household Goods

Hudson Valley long-distance movers can also deliver your household goods and belongings to your destination more quickly during the winter months. Since fewer people are moving long-distance during this time, your belongings won’t languish in a warehouse while waiting for a truck to become available. It’s also easier to travel long-distance, assuming the weather holds out, since not as many vehicles are on the roads during winter months.

Saving Money on Your Move

It’s also possible to save money, sometimes a significant amount, by moving in the winter. Movers start offering discounts and promotions during this time to help bring in more business. You can potentially get a discount on:

  • Moving Services
  • Storage Solutions
  • Moving Products & Supplies

Reduced Costs for Housing

When it comes to renting a home or apartment, you may also find that the search for affordable options is easier in the winter too. Apartment complexes will usually run more promotions from the fall through early spring to try and fill any empty units during the cold season. You can also find real estate for less during the wintertime too.
