If you’re planning a move this year, October may be the smartest month to do it. With the holidays just around the corner, relocating early in the fall can save you stress, money, and plenty of last-minute scrambling.
One of the biggest advantages of moving in October is the weather. Unlike the sweltering heat of summer or the unpredictable snowstorms of winter, October offers mild temperatures and fewer weather-related delays. That makes moving day smoother for both your family and your movers.
Scheduling is another reason October is ideal. By booking your move now, you’ll avoid the holiday rush when families try to settle before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Movers are typically more available in October, which means you can secure your preferred moving date and often at a lower cost compared to peak summer rates.
Moving early in the fall also gives you time to get settled before the holiday season kicks into full swing. Instead of unpacking boxes in December, you’ll be able to decorate your new home, host gatherings, and enjoy the festivities stress-free. For families with children, moving in October allows kids to adjust to their new home and school routine well before holiday breaks.
By choosing to move before the holidays, you set yourself up for a smoother transition and a fresh start to the season. With the right moving company, the process can be efficient and worry-free. Heartland Moving is here to help you plan, pack, and settle into your new home—so you can spend the holidays where you belong, surrounded by comfort, family, and peace of mind.
