Fall is actually one of the best times of the year to schedule a move — and for good reason. Compared to the hectic pace of summer, the fall season offers: More Flexible Scheduling Summer is peak moving season, which means trucks and teams get booked out fast. By fall, demand drops off — especially after Labor Day — giving you greater flexibility for choosing your ideal moving date. Cooler Weather The California heat can be brutal in the summer. Fall’s mild temperatures make for a much more comfortable move — both for your family and your movers. No sweaty chaos or overheating worries! Seasonal Deals and Discounts. Many moving companies, including The American Dream Moving & Storage, offer fall specials to fill open slots. It's a smart time to take advantage of military discounts, off-season rates, or bundled services. Easier School Transitions. If you're moving with kids, early fall can offer a smoother school switch — either right before or just after a new term begins. It avoids midyear disruptions while still allowing your child to settle in socially. Less Competition in Housing. Whether you're buying, renting, or selling, the fall market tends to slow down, giving you more negotiation power and less pressure from competing buyers or renters.
