Dog Days of Moving: A Moving Survey by Sparefoot
We love it when our friends at Sparefoot share their survey results, and this time they were asking Americans about moving as it pertains to seasons. As Alexander Harris summarizes in his article for Sparefoot.com, The Dog Days of Moving Are Here, But Most Americans Would Rather Move in the Winter, most people would prefer to move during freezing conditions rather than the hotter-than-hot days of summer. We are based in Dallas, so we can relate to the survey’s majority!
Of course, the irony here is that most people have to move during the summer and that’s why moving companies are at their busiest. Did you know that moving rates are at their highest during the summer months due to all of that demand? But, with vacation time and school out, sometimes it just makes the most sense.
If you do find yourself planning a move during the summer months…Sparefoot has also written an excellent article about precautions you need to take to make the best of it, entitled Moving in Peak Heat? Take These 6 Precautions.
Here is a great infographic from Sparefoot that summarizes findings from their latest moving survey. Enjoy!
