Autumn Moves
Tips for a Smooth Transition
Moving to a new home can be exciting—and challenging—any time of year. But if you’re planning a move in the Northeast during the fall, you have some unique advantages and a few special considerations. The crisp autumn air, colorful foliage, and generally calmer market can work in your favor. Here’s how to make your fall move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Embrace the Season’s Advantages
Fall often brings cooler temperatures, which means less sweat and discomfort hauling boxes and furniture. Plus, the vibrant fall colors provide a beautiful backdrop for your move. The real estate market also tends to slow down after summer’s peak, giving buyers and sellers more negotiating power and flexibility.
Plan Your Schedule Wisely
Daylight hours shorten in fall, so plan to start early and maximize your daylight. Coordinate with movers or helpers in advance to avoid last-minute surprises. If you’re moving yourself, keep flashlights and extra batteries handy for evening tasks.
Pack Thoughtfully for Seasonal Items
Fall means switching out summer clothes for sweaters and jackets. Pack seasonal items separately so you can easily find what you need. Also, if you’re moving from a warmer climate, keep a few layers handy to stay comfortable during transit.
Take Advantage of Fall’s Local Amenities
Once you’ve settled in, explore your new community’s fall festivals, farmers markets, and scenic trails. It’s a great way to meet neighbors and feel at home quickly.
Prepare for Weather Changes
While fall weather is generally mild, it can change quickly. Be ready for rainy days or early frosts by packing waterproof gear and tarps to protect belongings. Keep an eye on the forecast and have a backup plan if storms roll in on moving day.
Protect Your Home During the Transitions
Whether you’re leaving or moving in, fall can bring wet leaves and mud that track inside. Lay down runners or mats to keep floors clean. Check your heating system in your new home to ensure you stay cozy as temperatures drop.
Update Your Utilities and Services Early
With the colder months approaching, don’t delay setting up heating, internet, and other essential services. Fall is a good time to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home, too.
