Best Time to Move?

By Travis Wright, REALTOR®, with eXp Realty

Every season has trade-offs for buyers and sellers. Here's how to pick the right one for you.

The quick tip
  • Work backward: pick the date you want to be moved in, then plan from there.

  • Selling? Leave time for repairs, decluttering, and photos. Buying? Get pre-approved before you tour.

  • Renting? Check your lease's notice rules so you don't pay rent on two places. And moving in July? Hydrate.

Skip the scramble.

There's no perfect month to move. But there is a right month for you, and it's probably not the one you think.

Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. Every season has trade-offs. Spring and summer often bring more homes for sale, and more buyers competing. Fall and winter can be quieter, with less competition. Moving in July? Hydrate. Carrying a couch in summer heat builds character.

Here's a free tip. Work backward. Pick the date you want to be moved in, then plan from there. Selling? Leave time for repairs, decluttering, and photos before you list. Buying? Get pre-approved before you start touring. Renting? Check your lease for how much notice your landlord needs, so you don't pay rent on two places.

That one habit keeps a move from turning into a scramble.

Reply with the word TIMING, and tell me roughly when you'd like to move. I'll send you a simple timeline for your situation. Free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a best time of year to buy or sell a home?

Every season has trade-offs. Spring and summer often bring more homes for sale and more buyers competing. Fall and winter can be quieter. The right time is the one that fits your plans.

How should I plan my move date?

Work backward from the date you want to be moved in, leaving time for prep if you're selling, pre-approval if you're buying, and lease notice if you're renting.
