What is the Best Time of the Year to Move to the East Coast and Why?

Moving to the East Coast can be an exciting adventure. It can be a lovely experience or not, and part of that depends on the time of year you choose for your move and where you’re moving. Since the East Coast includes the areas all the way from Florida to Maine, the weather will play a crucial role. Before we get into that, let’s talk in general about the best times to move.

It’s only logical to assume that the best time for a move would be when the moving companies are less busy. Most people with families move in the summer months, when the kids are of school, so that’s their busiest time. If you can schedule your move at other times, you’ll likely have the most flexibility and maybe even a lower cost for your move.

Most people move at the end or beginning of the month, so here again you can expect to have more options if you’ve moving in the middle of the month.

If you don’t have a family and if we can eliminate the summer months, let’s talk about the best times to move to different parts of the East Coast.

If you’re planning to move to a southeastern state, you probably won’t go wrong with a winter move. In most of the South, the temperatures are moderate in the winter, and the precipitation is less, so you can have nice weather for your move. The weather in the Southeast can turn hot and humid beginning in April or May and lasting until well into the fall.

In the mid-Atlantic states, from North Carolina to New Jersey, it’s best not to plan on a move between December and March, as the weather can be unpredictable, cold, and rainy or snowy. In these areas, spring or fall moves will be the most comfortable.

In the Northeast, all of New England and upstate New York, the late spring or early fall will be best. At other times, you may experience severe winter weather, sometimes as late as Memorial Day. You want all of your things to be delivered safely, so you don’t want there to be ice and snow on moving day, as someone might slip or fall.
