Moving in the Winter

moving in winter

Moving homes in the winter time is an overlooked idea that comes with many benefits like availability, cost, and scheduling. There are pros and cons to such a decision. Moving in the winter in colder climates requires additional preparation of the logistics of the move. Dealing with weather and colder temperatures can add additional complications. One should expect to spend extra time on each task to account for variability of conditions and protecting belongings.

Key Takeaways:

  • Because relatively few people move during winter, you may get better rates.
  • Start getting ready early enough that you can have everything totally ready to go before your actual moving day.
  • Be sure that there is no ice on the paths to and from your home, since it can be a major safety hazard.

“Winter moving can be tricky, but with some smart planning it can be easier than you think.”
