☀️ Summer Moves: The Reputation and the Reality

If you’ve Googled “Is summer the worst time to move?” — you’re not alone.

Every year, from late May through August, demand for movers skyrockets.

Prices go up, schedules book out fast, and the heat makes everything feel harder.

But here’s the truth: you’re not screwed to move in the summer of 2025. 

In fact, this could be one of the best summers in recent years to plan a smart, stress-free move — if you know how to approach it.

Let’s break down why.

✅ 1. Summer 2025 Is Not 2021 (and Thank God)

Remember the pandemic moving rush?

• Housing prices were wild

• Movers were booked 2 months out

• Truck rentals were impossible to find

That’s over.

In 2025, the market is stabilizing.

There’s more availability, more options, and more ways to save — especially if you book early and work with a reliable company (like us).

📅 2. There’s Still Time to Get Ahead

The people who get burned in summer are the ones who wait until the last minute.

If you’re planning now — whether you're moving in June or even August — you’re ahead of the curve.

Pro tip:

• Book your movers 4–6 weeks ahead (right now is the sweet spot)

• Move mid-month and mid-week if you can (less demand = better rates)

💰 3. You Can Still Save Money (Here’s How)

Yes, summer prices are higher — but they’re not set in stone. Here’s how to keep costs down:

• Declutter before your move (fewer items = less labor = cheaper move)

• Get a guaranteed quote from your movers — no surprise fees

• Be flexible with timing: a 7am Tuesday move can cost less than a Saturday afternoon

And don’t forget: DIY moves come with hidden costs — truck rentals, gas, time off work, and help that may or may not show up.
