Discover how to pick the best time to move in Philadelphia. Learn expert-backed seasonal strategies to save time, stress, and money on your local move.
Most people want to move in spring or summer. Kids are out of school, the weather is nicer, and homes go on and off the market fast. That also means higher demand, limited availability, and higher rates.
Planning a summer move? Book your moving team early. Last-minute scheduling can be tough, especially between May and August, when local moving crews are at peak capacity.
Don’t overlook the off-season. Fall and winter offer:
More flexible scheduling
Lower rates in many cases
Faster move-in times (less traffic and building congestion)
Yes, weather can be unpredictable. But in a city like Philadelphia, it's manageable — and the benefits often outweigh the risks.
Ask yourself: Do you need to move on a weekend or can you consider a weekday?
Check school calendars if you have kids.
Avoid major holidays and the end/beginning of each month — that’s when demand spikes.
Pro Tip: If you're working from home or have a flexible job, a mid-week move in the fall could be your best bet.
