Moving in the spring has a few advantages. It is the best time to sell your home, and the weather is more pleasant. Move houses before the busy summer season without hauling boxes through the cold. After winter, relocating feels like a fresh start for you and your family. We have listed some valuable tips to help you have a successful spring move.
How to Have a Successful Spring Move
Host a Yard Sale
Decluttering your home is essential for a successful spring move. If there are belongings you don’t want to bring to the new house, host a yard sale. You’ll get rid of unwanted things and make money.
Schedule the Move Around the Kids’ Spring Break
Spring break is a great time to move homes. You can relocate your family without causing too much disruption to your kids’ school year. If transitioning to a different school, the kids can start at their new school at the end of the break.
Make a Checklist for a Successful Spring Move
For an easier move, make a moving checklist. Keep track of what you need to pack and things you have to do before moving day and on moving day. Your to-do list can include people and companies to notify you of your move.
Take Precautions for a Successful Spring Move
Don’t Wait to Hire Movers
Spring is not usually as busy as summer when it comes to moving. However, it’s still a good idea to plan. Call around to get quotes for movers early on. Ask friends or family members for recommendations. Planning and booking a moving company two months ahead of time will guarantee movers are available when you need them.
Prepare for Any Weather
Although spring usually means better weather, it can still be unpredictable. Because of this, have warm clothing for your family and rain gear, just in case. This will come in handy if the weather is terrible, as you won’t need to dig through packed boxes to find appropriate clothing.
Keep Pollen Out of the New House
Warmer weather makes for a pleasant move. However, blooming flowers can be challenging if you or your family members suffer from allergies. Make sure the moving boxes are sealed shut, so you don’t bring pollen. When packing, use strong tape to seal each box.
