Got2Move has published a new guide exploring the optimal timing windows for residential relocations, offering specific recommendations on seasonal periods, weekday scheduling, and hourly start times. The resource provides actionable insights for readers facing financial and logistical pressures amid home transitions, addressing the critical timing dimensions that compound savings when strategically combined.

Industry data suggests that the moving sector experiences peak demand from May through September. June, July, and August represent the busiest months - when costs surge by 20 to 30% compared to off-season rates. Seasonal pricing volatility places significant financial strain on budget-conscious households, with families booking moves during high-demand periods facing elevated costs, reduced availability, and limited scheduling flexibility.
As such, Got2Move’s guide emphasizes two complementary strategies that deliver substantial cost reductions. Moving during the off-season (spanning November through April) typically results in significantly lower rates, says the document, as companies reduce prices to maintain crew utilization during slower periods.
The guide also recommends that weekday relocations should be scheduled between Monday and Thursday due to a combination of lower prices, better availability, and more flexible scheduling options.
Beyond cost considerations, though, Got2Move highlights the operational advantages tied to daily timing. When relocations start in the morning hours, crews can complete work earlier in the day - reducing fatigue for both movers and families while creating more time for unpacking and initial settling activities.
Further, morning departures are also described as better in terms of avoiding heavier midday and afternoon traffic - streamlining transportation between properties in the process. This practical benefit complements broader timing strategies by maximizing efficiency on moving day itself.
Got2Move's framework integrates these three timing layers (seasonal, weekly, and hourly) into a cohesive planning approach that acknowledges individual constraints while providing data-backed recommendations.
Crucially, however, the guide recognizes that optimal timing varies based on location, weather conditions, budget limitations, family obligations, and work schedules. Yet, the underlying principles of off-season booking, weekday scheduling, and morning start times are noted as applicable across diverse relocation scenarios.
