If you’re planning a move in the near future, you might be pondering the best timing—when is the best time to move? The answer to that question depends largely on your circumstances and needs (for example, if you’re moving to take a job offer, the best time is obviously NOW). However, if you have some wiggle room to decide, depending on your particular priorities, here are a few tips to help you decide the right time to move.
THE RIGHT TIME ECONOMICALLY
If price is a particular factor in selecting a new home, the best time to move is likely to be the winter months, particularly November to January. If you’re a renter, this is the slow time of year for landlords, so you’re more likely to find bargains or specials on rent. If you’re buying a home, winter is a great time to make an offer because bidding wars are usually at an ebb, and sellers are generally more motivated to make a deal.
