- When your new place will be ready to occupy
- When you can schedule time off work
- Movers' schedules (whether those movers are friends and family or a professional moving company)
- Utility hook-up dates
- Closing date, if you're dealing with a mortgage
Here are some tips on picking the best day:
- Memorial Day - Labor Day accounts for just under 50% of all moves, making it much more difficult to get scheduled. Avoid the summer if possible.
- Tuesdays - Thursdays offer the most availability on most professional movers' schedules and also insure that businesses will likely be open if you run into a problem.
- Arrange to have your old utilities shut off one day after the move and for your new utilities to be turned on the day before your move. This does two things: it allows extra time for the new utilities to get sorted out if something goes wrong, and makes sure you have connections at your old place if leaving takes longer than you expect.
Did you ever move on a day that was particularly good or bad? Please let me know!
