Here's Why You Want to Move in the Spring

Moving Tips

With the long, cold winter behind us, spring is in the air, bringing new beginnings and fresh starts. And what better way to embrace this season of renewal than by moving into a new place?

The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the world feels alive with possibilities. It's the perfect time to declutter, refresh your living space, and take on new adventures. So, shake off the winter blues and welcome the vibrant energy of spring by settling into your new home.

All the Same, If You Can Plan — Choose a Spring Move!

While moving isn't always something you can schedule, as leases and closing dates often dictate the timeline, if you have any flexibility, spring is the perfect season to plan your move. Here's why:

Perfect Moving Weather

In many parts of Canada, the weather swings between extremes. Winter moves are often plagued by deep snow and slippery sidewalks, making the process physically demanding and potentially hazardous.

On the flip side, summer's muggy heat can leave you drenched and exhausted after a day of lifting heavy boxes. Spring offers a happy medium with mild temperatures, making it the most comfortable season for a move.

Spring Flexibility for Families

Spring break and the end of the school year provide natural breaks in your kids' schedules. Whether you want them to be part of the moving process or prefer they stay out of the way, spring gives you the flexibility to plan accordingly.

Having kids involved in the move can help them adjust to the change, but if you'd rather they stay at school during the process, springtime allows for that flexibility as well.

Keep Your Summer Social Calendar Open!

By moving in the spring, you’re setting yourself up for a relaxing, event-filled summer. Instead of spending your summer months coordinating a move, you’ll have all the heavy lifting done by the time the warm weather hits.

With the move behind you, you’ll be ready to entertain guests in your new home and enjoy summer vacations without the added stress of moving logistics.

Beat the Peak Moving Season

Spring is also a great time to move because it falls just before the peak moving season in summer. This means moving companies have more availability and might even offer lower prices.

Booking a move in the spring ensures you get the dates you want without competing with the summer rush, and you might save a bit of money too.


Never used a moving company before? You might be surprised at how much they can help. Professional movers do more than just drive the truck—they provide packing services, secure your belongings, and ensure everything arrives safely at your new home.
