The vast majority of households move during summer months, leading to higher costs for relocation services. Individuals who want to keep costs low when moving out of state from Philadelphia family homes should plan as far ahead as possible, according to a new guide to summer moves from Movers.com.

In its latest guide, the moving expert says that most years, about 70 percent of relocating households move between the months of May and September. That timing is driven by summer school breaks, longer daylight hours, and favorable weather. Only about 50 percent of relocating households moved during the summer of 2023, due to high housing prices and interest rates, according to the National Association of Realtors. The 2024 outlook is dependent upon mortgage rate changes, experts say.

Since the market is uncertain, it’s even more important to plan ahead for summer moves, according to Movers.com. A rate cut could spur many who have been waiting things out to make a decision to relocate, creating even more demand for moving services.

Households expecting to move in the summer of 2024 should start planning as early as possible, according to the guide. Rates for reliable movers rise with the law of supply and demand, so those who wait too long may overpay or have to settle for lower-rated companies. Most reputable companies accept deposits in advance and offer flexible alternatives if timing changes.

Moving in summer may seem easier, due to lack of ice and longer hours of daylight. But summer moves have their own challenges for novices, Movers.com says. Heat exposure in amateur vehicles can damage antique furniture, artwork, and musical instruments; it can also dry and fade leather, and warp electronic components. Professionals, meanwhile, know how to pack and transport sensitive items so they arrive in one piece.

The guide recommends obtaining quotes from several licensed movers to determine the best combination of price and services offered. Movers.com offers obligation-free quotes for screened movers from its network of more than 500 local, interstate, and international companies. Booking weekday services in the middle of the month, as opposed to the beginning or end, ensures the most favorable prices during the busy season, according to the guide.
