When is the best time to move? What a million moves say about timing
Lugg data says fall moves are easier to book, with August the busiest month and month-to-month prices varying by less than 4%.
- Mid-September through mid-October is the best time to move, according to Loren Couse for Lugg, an on-demand moving and delivery service that analyzed moving patterns to identify optimal timing.
- August remains the busiest month for movers, running about 23% above an average month, with the industry's peak season extending from May through summer according to data.
- Across over a million completed local moves over five years, Lugg found the gap between cheapest and priciest months is under 4%, showing dates barely impact price.
- Scheduling the earliest arrival window and packing early prove more effective than choosing a specific date, as crews are fresh and afternoon traffic is avoided.
- December and February offer the widest choice of dates for those with scheduling flexibility, while moving mid-month avoids the end-of-month lease rush that runs about 16% busier.
