Is there a best time to move? You might be surprised! In today’s post we’ll go over the most popular times to move in the Vancouver area as well as review our tips for making your move go as smoothly as possible.
Let’s get started!
Summer is moving season in Vancouver
Here at ANC Movers, our busiest season is during the summer. The weather’s great and school’s out of session (making it easier for families to move). People are looking to find a new place before the rainy fall and winter weather starts up again.
If you’re thinking about moving between May and August, you should start planning your move well in advance because it might be harder to find a mover who can work around your schedule. This is especially true for weekends when the ANC Movers team is at our busiest. So if you’re thinking you might want to move this summer, contact us as soon as you can to learn about availability and to get a free moving quote.
DID YOU KNOW:
If you’re a renter, plan to move during the winter. You can find a more affordable new apartment as supply is greater than demand during the rainy winter months in the Vancouver area.
A little overlap can be a big stress reliever
Moving can be stressful. One great way to reduce stress is to time your move so you move into your new home before you have to be out of your old place. It’s not always possible, but asking to shuffle closing dates or adjust lease terms can help eliminate the stress of a hurried move. Use the extra time you have to:
- Leisurely unpack at your new home
- Thoroughly clean your old apartment
- Avoid any headaches caused by last-minute issues or problems
Consider the pros and cons of different scheduling options
Depending on your work schedule, how much vacation time you have available, and other factors, you’ll need to figure out how to you want to schedule your move:
- Move on the weekends so you don’t have to take any vacation days at work
- Move on a Friday to avoid weekend traffic and then take the weekend to settle into your new home
Everybody’s different and there’s no right answer for everyone. Think about what you value most and what will offer you the best chance to reduce the stress of your moving day.
