5 Reasons You Should Move During Summer

11.2 percent of Americans move each year (Census.gov). Are you considering being one of them?

If so, here are five reasons you should make the move now and not wait for the chillier days ahead.

1. NEW COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Moving during summer allows you to become involved in your new community faster than you could in other seasons. Most communities have fairs, festivals, and events that make for the perfect place to meet your new neighbors.

2. YARD SALE SEASON

Oftentimes when you move, you realize just how much “stuff” you have. If you don’t want to bring it along, take advantage of the nice weather to sell your extra belongings in a community or self-hosted yard sale.

3. A SMOOTH SCHOOL TRANSITION

During summer, you don’t have to worry about pulling kids out of school or trying to enroll them mid-semester. Instead, you will have plenty of time to make the transition and allow any children to get used to their new surroundings before school begins.

4. THE MARKET IS FAVORABLE

Did you know that the market in Indianapolis is so hot that some realtors are actually “cold-calling potential customers to let them know their home values may be at an all-time high. (IndyStar)” It’s true! The time might be right for you to sell your house at a record price, so find out from your local realtor.

5. AVOID THE HOLIDAYS

Sure, there are great summer holidays to enjoy, but as you get closer to the end of the year, many important holidays can dominate your time. By moving during the summer, you’ll avoid having to worry about being ready for any big holidays – at least for a few months!

Bonus:

As you might know, the weather in summer is much more favorable to move in than the weather in winter. Even though we will help you move in any season, you’ll be able to enjoy both the inside and outside of your new home if you decide to move during the warmer months.
